Mean annual paleotemperatures of water at the sea surface in the Late, Middle, and partly Early Pleistocene were reconstructed on this basis. The amplitudes of the changes of paleotemperatures in the region of the site were equal to 6 degrees C. A series of cold and warm periods during the Pleistocene was distinguished and their ages were determined. It was found that the cold stages were longer than the warm ones.completedQuaternary geologyannual variationsCenozoicclimate changeDeep Sea Drilling ProjectEquatorial PacificForaminiferaInvertebrataLeg 130microfossilsOcean Drilling ProgramODP Site 805Ontong Java PlateauPacific Oceanpaleoclimatologyplanktonic taxaPleistoceneProtistaQuaternarysea watersea-surface temperaturetemperaturevariationsWest Pacificurn:org.iodp:exp:130urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:130:site:805urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:130urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignEnglishgeoscientificInformation160.3145160.31471.13401.1342
