摘要

[1] Late Quaternary climate fluctuated between extremes of glaciations, lasting similar to 90 kyr on average, and interglacial episodes, lasting similar to 10 kyr. Still largely unknown are the spatial and temporal evolution of these global climate states, with vigorous debate still underway on the mechanisms responsible for glacial inceptions and terminations. Though it is widely believed that the Southern Hemisphere oceans play a central role in global climate changes, few paleoclimate records exist from there. Here we present three new alkenone-derived SST records from the midlatitude Southern Hemisphere spanning the last 160 kyr, a full glacial-interglacial cycle. Our subtropical SST records from the last glacial period are characterized by ( 1) warming 47 - 23 kyr B. P., when high latitudes in both hemispheres cooled, and ( 2) milder temperatures during the penultimate glacial period than during the last glacial interval. These SST features are found to be of tropical- to subtropical-wide extent, implying increased thermal gradients at times of high-latitude ice sheet growth. This has implications for the vigor of atmospheric and upper ocean circulation and the transport of heat and moisture to the poles that may have been instrumental in the growth and maintenance of polar ice sheets during glacial periods.

P. P.),以及(2)倒数第二个冰川期的温度比上次冰川期的温和。发现这些SST特征具有热带到亚热带范围,这意味着在高纬度冰盖生长时热梯度会增加。这对大气和上层海洋环流的旺盛以及热量和水分向极地的传输有影响,这可能在冰川期对极地冰盖的生长和维持有帮助。
