Examination of potential controls on, and sequence of, Antarctic Holocene climate change compared with Greenland climate change using 200 year gaussian smoothed data from the following ice cores (top to bottom): GISP2 (Greenland) ice core, K+ proxy for the Siberian High (Meeker and Mayewski, 2002[1]); GISP2 Na+ proxy for the Icelandic Low (Meeker and Mayewski, 2002[1]); GISP2 Ca++ proxy for the Northern Hemisphere westerlies (Mayewski and Maasch, 2006[2]); Siple Dome (West Antarctic) Ca++ ice core proxy for the Southern Hemisphere westerlies (Yan et al., 2005[3]); Siple Dome Na+ proxy for the Amundsen Sea Low (Kreutz et al., 2000); GISP2 ;18O proxy for temperature (Grootes and Stuiver, 1997[4]); Siple Dome ;18O proxy for temperature (Mayewski et al., 2004a[5]); timing of the Lake Agassiz outbreak that may have initiated Northern Hemisphere cooling at ~8,200 years ago, (Barber et al., 1999[6]); global glacier advances (Denton and Karlén, 1973[7]; Haug et al., 2001[8]; Hormes et al., 2001[9]); prominent Northern Hemisphere climate change events (shaded zones, (Mayewski et al., 2004a[5])); winter insolation values (W m-2) at 60°N (black curve) and 60°S latitude (blue curve) (Berger and Loutre, 1991[10]); summer insolation values (W m-2) at 60°N (black curve) and 60°S latitude (blue curve) (Berger and Loutre, 1991[10]); proxies for solar output: ∆14C residuals (Stuiver et al., 1998[11]); atmospheric CH4 (ppbv) concentrations in the GRIP ice core, Greenland (Chappellaz et al., 1993[12]), atmospheric CO2 (ppmv) concentrations in the Taylor Dome, Antarctica ice core (Indermühle et al., 1999[13]); and volcanic events marked by SO42- residuals (ppb) in the Siple Dome ice core, Antarctica (Kurbatov et al., 2006[14]), and by SO42- residuals (ppb) in the GISP2 ice core (Zielinski et al., 1994[15]). Timing of Northern Hemisphere deglaciation (Mayewski et al., 1981[16]) and retreat of Ross Sea Ice Sheet (Conway et al., 1999[17]). Figure modified from Mayewski et al. (2004b[18], 2005). Green bar denotes the 8,800-8,200 year ago event seen in many globally distributed records associated with a negative ∆14C residual (Mayewski et al., 2004a[5]). Yellow denotes 6,400-5,200, 3,400-2,400, and since 1,200 year ago events seen in many globally distributed records associated with positive ∆14C residuals (Mayewski et al., 2004b[18]).
