Fig. 4: Inflation of coral Sr/Ca and δ18O variation by non-climate noise.

Corrected versus raw variance of coral Sr/Ca and δ18O proxies calculated by integrating the corrected and raw proxy spectra (Sclim and Sproxy respectively) across frequency bands corresponding to characteristic timescales. The inflation factor is a variance ratio, the ratio in terms of standard deviation is given in parentheses. Error bars show 68% (+− 1 se) and 95% confidence intervals from bootstrapping.
