Extended Data Fig. 1: Regional map of Florida Straits and the locations of five sediment cores, and the temperature and salinity depth profiles56,58.
From: Warmer shallow Atlantic during deglaciation and early Holocene due to weaker overturning circulation
Low-salinity AAIW contributes to waters in the western side of the Strait (Florida Margin side), especially from ~400 m to the bottom (including core #6 and #7); whereas AAIW is confined to below ~550 m on the eastern side of the Strait (Cay Sal Bank and Great Bahama Bank side). Above these water depths (core #8 and #9), waters are increasingly dominated by North Atlantic subtropical waters. Core #10 (1057 m) is located in the Providence Channel, along the southward pathway of upper NADW and also under the influence of deep subtropical gyre waters.
