Temporal and spatial structure of multi-millennial temperature changes at high latitudes during the Last Interglacial

Abstract: a b s t r a c tThe Last Interglacial (LIG, 129e116 thousand of years BP, ka) represents a test bed for climate model feedbacks in warmer-than-present high latitude regions. However, mainly because aligning different palaeoclimatic archives and from different parts of the world is not trivial, a spatio-temporal picture of LIG temperature changes is difficult to obtain.Here, we have selected 47 polar ice core and sub-polar marine sediment records and developed a strategy to align them onto the recent AICC2012 ic… Show more

“…The event is generally explained as resulting from a freshwater influx from melting ice sheets that induced a reduction in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and associated cooling in the northernmost parts of the Atlantic realm. However, the event was not homogeneous in the entire North Atlantic as shown by the temperature anomaly distributions compiled by Capron et al (2014).…”

“…10) such as the Greenland ice core δ 18 O data (North Greenland Ice Core Project members, 2004; using the GICC05 age scale of Wolff et al, 2010) and selected stable isotope compositions and sea surface temperature reconstructions derived from North Atlantic deep sea sediment cores Sánchez-Goñi et al, 2012;Galaasen et al, 2014). It should be noted here that dating of deep sea records is a challenging task (e.g., Drysdale et al, 2009), and the North Atlantic region may behave heterogeneously with respect to temperature anomalies during climate change events (Capron et al, 2014) that must be kept in mind during the evaluation. The selected records demonstrate that the period of low δD values in the BAR-II record was associated with climate changes in the wider region.…”

“…Following the results presented in the previous section, we will compare the simulated response to proxy records for temperature, North Atlantic ocean circulation, sea ice cover, and North African precipitation. Capron et al (2014) have compiled a collection of temperature proxy records covering the last interglacial. The dataset consists of several time slices; including 125 ka employed here.…”

“…Changes in the orbital configuration and thus the insolation resulted in global warming of up to 2 °C compared to pre-industrial conditions, with more pronounced warming at high latitudes (CAPE-Last Interglacial Project Members 2006;Masson-Delmotte et al 2013;Capron et al 2014). Due to the nature of the forcing, the last interglacial is not a perfect analogue for future greenhouse gas driven warming.…”
