Description
In an analysis of past sea level history in the South China Sea, Zicheng et al. (2003) cite the work of Baofu et al. (1997, in Chinese), who investigated palaeotemperatures of the coral reef at Dengloujao, Leizhou Peninsula, China (~20.25°N, 110°E) and reported that "sea-surface temperature at 1170 a B.P. is 2°C higher than that at present time."
