Short summary

Results from a data set acquired from living foraminifera T. sacculifer collected from surface waters are presented, allowing us to establish a new Mg/Ca–Sr/Ca–temperature equation improving temperature reconstructions. When combining equations, δ¹⁸O_w can be reconstructed with a precision of ± 0.5 ‰, while successive reconstructions involving Mg/Ca and δ¹⁸O_c preclude salinity reconstruction with a precision better than ± 1.69. A new direct linear fit to reconstruct salinity could be established.
