  abstract = {{R}econstructions of subtropical southwest {P}acific climate variability over the {P}leistocene were derived from coupled planktic foraminiferal delta {O}-18-{M}g/{C}a measurements taken from a southern {C}oral {S}ea sediment core. {A} clear shift from similar to 40 kyr to similar to 100 kyr modes of reconstructed glacial-interglacial sea surface temperature ({SST}) variability is seen over the mid-{P}leistocene transition, and these fluctuations are shown to have remained coherent with the orbital obliquity cycle across the transition. {T}he likely origin of this strong obliquity signal in subtropical southwest {P}acific {SST} is shown to be the southern high latitudes, and comparison with existing {SST} reconstructions from the equatorial {P}acific is consistent with the communication of the signal occurring principally by greenhouse gas forcing. {I}n contrast to the {SST} reconstruction, regional hydrological cycle variability (based on the calculated local component of delta {O}-18(sw) change) does not show significant coherence with obliquity after similar to 1000 ka. {T}he decoupling of the {SST} and hydrological cycle responses over the mid-{P}leistocene transition allows constraints to be placed on the evolution and extent of orbitally paced fluctuations within the coupled low-latitude ocean-atmosphere system.},
