Abstract
At Aqaba in the Northern Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea, the stable oxygen isotope record of a Por#es lutea coral colony was studied. From a vertical and a horizontal core two parts from the base of the colony (10 years of coral growth), and two parts from the living surface (12 years of coral growth) were analysed with a monthly sampling resolution. The results show that seasonality of sea surface temperatures (SST) in the northem GulfofAqaba has increased since the early 19th century, mainly due to higher summer temper- atures. 8~80-ratios indicate that SST increased by at least 1.3~ Horizontal and vertical cores display dif- ferent variations in the modern parts, probably caused by the very shallow water depth of the youngest part of the vertical core.
