abstract = "The western South Atlantic along the Brazilian margin is an
important region for the Atlantic Meridional Overturning
Circulation (AMOC) because surface currents in this area transfer
warm and salty waters from the Southern Hemisphere to the North
Atlantic. Although the number of sea surface temperature (SST)
reconstructions has grown in this region, it has been challenging
to explain changes in different and sometimes proximal cores. To
understand the SST evolution of the Brazilian margin from the Last
Glacial Maximum (LGM) to the late Holocene, we present the first
SST stack (BRSST stack) for this region. We compare the BRSST
stack with the outputs of the transient climate model simulation
TraCE-21ka. The BRSST stack shows an LGM cooling of 1.43 °C (from
\−1.31 to \−1.55 °C, 2\σ) relative to the late
Holocene, followed by deglacial warming starting at \∼ 18.8
ka. TraCE-21ka simulates this early onset of the last
deglaciation. Sensitivity experiments suggest that the input of
meltwater from retreating ice sheets in the Northern Hemisphere
triggered the post-LGM warming, which was subsequently sustained
by increasing atmospheric CO2. Deglacial millennial-scale events
of AMOC slowdown produced large-scale warming of the Brazilian
margin not clearly distinguished by some previous studies.
Analyzing our stack in its segregated components, i.e., the North
Brazil Current (NBCSST stack) and Brazil Current (BCSST stack) we
noted in-phase warming at the onset of the last deglaciation,
which is not found in TraCE-21ka simulations. We attributed this
to underestimating the meltwater influence over the tropical
Brazilian margin by the model. BRSST stack also presents episodes
of abrupt cooling near periods of fast sea-level rise during the
last deglaciation, which may be due to rapid AMOC reinvigoration
or freshening of the Southern Ocean. Holocene climate resembles
that recorded by other compilations, with no clear Holocene
thermal maximum but presenting a cooling trend during the late
Holocene possibly related to intensified volcanic activity. Our
study indicates that the future human-induced SST change expected
for the end of the 21st-century will overcome the background of
natural climate variability of the last 22,000 years for the
Brazilian margin.",
