Figure 6: Schematic reconstruction of sea ice conditions at the northern Faroe slope.
From: Sea ice and millennial-scale climate variability in the Nordic seas 90 kyr ago to present
(a) Interstadial. (b) Interstadial transitional cooling phase. (c) Stadial. (d) H-events H6, H4 and H1. Black horizontal arrows indicate location of the Arctic Front (AF) and Polar Front (PF). Green colour (including arrows) indicates degree of phytoplankton productivity inferred from concentrations of brassicasterol, dinosterol and flux of diatoms. Productivity levels are indicated in the lowermost part of each figure: Magenta coloured line, no or very little phytoplankton productivity; yellow line, medium/variable productivity; green line, high or very high productivity. Grey vertical bars on the right indicate strength of deep convection.
