Climatic response to meltwater input in the North Atlantic. Results of a suite of experiments performed with LOVECLIM under LIG conditions and forced with (a–c) a 0.05 Sv and (d–f) 0.03 Sv meltwater input in the North Atlantic. Anomalies refer to annual mean changes averaged over (a–c) years 126.6–126.4 ka, and (d–f) years 123.8–123.6 ka compared to the control LIG state climate state. a, d SST anomalies (°C, shaded), 0.1 m sea-ice contour for the control LIG state (black) and perturbed state (red). Surface currents (m s−1, vectors) associated with the perturbed state are also shown. Stars show location of sites MD03-2664, ODP984 and MD01-2444. b, e precipitation anomalies (cm yr−1). Stars show location of MD01-2444 and Corchia Cave. The overlain grey grid indicates anomalies that are not statistically significant at the 95% level based on a Student t test. c, f Geopotential height (500 hPa) (m2 s−2, shaded) and winds (m s−1, vectors) anomalies
