An excitation wavelength of 390nm and an emission wavelength of 490nm were used. The relative luminescence was calculated so that measurements of luminescence and reflectivity of coral slices are corrected using measurements of background and calcium carbonate standards. The two cores outside La Parguera were drilled in February 1998 and 2004, respectively. Four U/Th dates retrieved at the University of Minnesota, together with density-band counting, demonstrate that the first core represents ages ranging from 1768 to 1957. The second core spans back to 1870 on the basis of density-band counting. Coral Sites: Mona Island: 18.00 N, 67.50 N. Isla Catalina, Dominican Republic: 18.20 N, 69.00 W. La Parguera, Puerto Rico: 17.90 N, 67.00 N ABSTRACT SUPPLIED BY ORIGINATOR: Hurricane activity in the North Atlantic Ocean has increased significantly since 1995. This trend has been attributed to both anthropogenically induced climate change and natural variability, but the primary cause remains uncertain. Changes in the frequency and intensity of hurricanes in the past can provide insights into the factors that influence hurricane activity, but reliable observations of hurricane activity in the North Atlantic only cover the past few decades. Here we construct a record of the frequency of major Atlantic hurricanes over the past 270 years using proxy records of vertical wind shear and sea surface temperature (the main controls on the formation of major hurricanes in this region) from corals and a marine sediment core. The record indicates that the average frequency of major hurricanes decreased gradually from the 1760s until the early 1990s, reaching anomalously low values during the 1970s and 1980s. Furthermore, the phase of enhanced hurricane activity since 1995 is not unusual compared to other periods of high hurricane activity in the record and thus appears to represent a recovery to normal hurricane activity, rather than a direct response to increasing sea surface temperature. Comparison of the record with a reconstruction of vertical wind shear indicates that variability in this parameter primarily controlled the frequency of major hurricanes in the Atlantic over the past 270 years, suggesting that changes in the magnitude of vertical wind shear will have a significant influence on future hurricane activity.
