High frequency climate variability of the Norwegian Atlantic Current during the early Holocene period and a possible connection to the Gleissberg cycle

A high-resolution sediment core (MD95-2011) from the Vøring Plateau has been studied to document the variability of the surface water conditions during the Younger Dryas—Preboreal (13—9 kyr BP) in the eastern Norwegian Sea, in order to assess the climate variability in a period considered to be highly dynamic. Quantitative summer sea surface temperatures (SSSTs) with a time resolution of 20—40 years are reconstructed using three different diatom...
