Abstract
The Western Pacific Warm Pool (WPWP) plays a key role in the global climate system because it is the greatest warm region of the oceans worldwide and the large heat capacity supplying the latent heat and moisture in global climate changes. By analyzing Mg/Ca ratios of planktonic foraminifer, Globigerinoides ruber white, s.s., (250-300 μm) of a sediment core MD05-2925 (9.344 oS, 151.460 oE, water depth 1661 m) over the past 360 thousand years at the sensitive southern margin of the WPWP (SMWP), the results show five features. (1) WPWP thermal condition is strongly associated with global sea level change. The global climate changes may be triggered by thermal/hydrological conditions of the WPWP. (2) The derived sea surface water
