  abstract = {{T}his study presents the first algal thallus (skeleton) archive of {A}sian monsoon strength and {R}ed {S}ea influence in the {G}ulf of {A}den. {M}g/{C}a, {L}i/{C}a, and {B}a/{C}a were measured in {L}ithophyllum yemenense from {B}alhaf ({G}ulf of {A}den) using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, and {M}g/{C}a ratio oscillation was used to reconstruct the chronology (34 y). {O}scillations of element rates corresponding to the algal growth between 1974 and 2008 were compared with recorded climate and oceanographic variability. {D}uring this period, sea surface temperatures ({SST}) in {B}alhaf recorded a warming trend of 0.55 degrees {C}, corresponding to an increase in {M}g and {L}i content in the algal thallus of 2.1 mol-% and 1.87 mu mol-%, respectively. {L}ithophyllum yemenense recorded decadal {SST} variability by {L}i/{C}a, and the influence of the {P}acific {E}l-{N}ino {S}outhern {O}scillation on the {NW} {I}ndian {O}cean climate system by {B}a/{C}a. {A}dditionally, algal {M}g/{C}a, {L}i/{C}a, and {B}a/{C}a showed strong and significant correlations with {A}ll {I}ndian {R}ainfall in the decadal range indicating that these proxies can be useful for tracking variability in the {I}ndian monsoon system, possibly due to changes of the surface wind system, with deep water upwelling in summer, and a distinct seasonality.},
