The accuracy of paleothermometers is a prerequisite for understanding the past sea surface temperature (SST) changes in the tropical seas. Here, we analyzed the SST estimates reconstructed by four lipid proxies with common linear and newly advanced models in parallel in a sediment core collected from the southern South China Sea (SCS). After excluding the impact of terrestrial input, all of the four proxies-inferred SSTs displayed a gradually warming pattern since 18.3 ka. Our long-chain alkenones-derived annual SST at seawater depth of 0–30 m (SST 0–30 m) record closely matched the regional synthetic SST record from the entire southern SCS, corresponding to high-latitude climate events during the deglaciation. The temperatures reconstructed by long-chain diols (LCDs) showed an upper limit of 27 °C, and we thus proposed that they reflected the optimal survival temperature for organisms producing LCDs when SST was higher than 27 °C. Isoprenoid and hydroxy glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (iGDGTs and OH-GDGTs)-derived temperatures likely reflected the subsurface temperature (subT) at seawater depth of 30–125 m and SST towards the warm season in the tropical sea, respectively.
