Surface water response of the equatorial Atlantic Ocean to orbital forcing
Abstract
The response of the mixed layer of the equatorial Atlantic to climate change, for times greater than 10 kyr, is predominantly forced by the precessional component of insolation. A zonal transect of three cores analyzed at 1‐kyr intervals documents this response for 0–250 ka The western equatorial Atlantic is characterized by minimal variation in surface water character, indicating temporal stability of the mixed layer, except during intervals of maximum glaciation. In contrast, the eastern region shows marked temporal variations in estimated sea surface temperature and foraminiferal assemblages, with dominant periodicities centered on 23 kyr. At precessional periods, the eastern equatorial Atlantic responds in phase with southern hemisphere sea surface temperature and significantly leads northern hemisphere sea surface temperature and continental ice volume. These signals are the product of orbitally forced variations in (1) trade wind and monsoon‐controlled divergence and (2) advection of heat from high southern latitudes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
