Comparison with mid- and high-latitude records. a Principle Component 1 (PC1) scores from eight alkenone SST records in the northern Atlantic (Supplementary Table 1). PC1 represents 57.8% of the variance. b δ13C of benthic foraminfera from core EN120-GGC1 in the north Atlantic, interpreted as a record of NADW formation and ocean circulation: lower values represent slower ocean circulation54. c Alkenone SST from core GeoB5901-2 in the Gulf of Cadiz, just to the north of Africa87. d δDwax from GeoB4905-4 (ice-volume and vegetation adjusted, this study). Shadings indicate 68 and 95% uncertainty bounds, including analytical and age uncertainty
