Abstract

A high-resolution deuterium profile is now available along theentire European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica Dome Cice core, extending this climate record back to marine isotopestage 20.2, $~$ 800,000 years ago. Experiments performed with anatmospheric general circulation model including water isotopessupport its temperature interpretation. We assessed the generalcorrespondence between Dansgaard-Oeschger events and their smoothedAntarctic counterparts for this Dome C record, which revealsthe presence of such features with similar amplitudes duringprevious glacial periods. We suggest that the interplay betweenobliquity and precession accounts for the variable intensityof interglacial periods in ice core records.
