Ocean circulation, ice shelf, and sea ice interactions explain Dansgaard-Oeschger cycles [Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences]

The last glacial interval experienced abrupt climatic changes called Dansgaard–Oeschger (DO) events. These events manifest themselves as rapid increases followed by slow decreases of oxygen isotope ratios in Greenland ice core records. Despite promising advances, a comprehensive theory of the DO cycles, with their repeated ups and downs of isotope...
