addition, cloud bands originating in the eastern Indian Ocean transport moisture to east (and southeast) Australia (e.g., Wright 1997 ; Verdon and Franks 2005 ). The Indian Ocean influence can be implied by significant correlations in regions northwest of the MDB. Significant correlations with regions across southern Australia (e.g., southwest Western Australia, the south coast of central Australia, south of the basin, and Tasmania) suggest an influence of Southern Ocean processes.

source area or trajectory of the moisture that forms local precipitation, have influenced coral δ 18 O at Palmyra Island ( Nurhati et al. 2009 , 2011 ). To fully explore these possibilities within a modeling framework would require not only a climate model that incorporates a representation of the global distribution of δ 18 O but also a process model that describes the incorporation of the climatic signal into coral δ 18 O at the study site. 5.
