説明
We produced continuous records of sea surface salinity and isotopic composition from 1998 to 2004 at Ishigaki Island, southwest Japan, and found clear seasonal variations in salinity and oxygen isotopic composition and increasing trends of them after 1999. These increasing trends could be principally due to the decreasing difference between local precipitation (P) and evaporation (E), as a result of the reduction of horizontal vapour transport from adjacent oceans. When samples collected in heavy rainfall events were excluded, the average Deltadelta(18)O/Delta salinity slope was obtained as 0.31, 0.35 in summer and 0.28 in winter. Estimated E/P ratios based on the isotopic box model are in good agreement with the ratios of independently estimated E to observed P.
