Fig. 5: Pacing of Dansgaard-Oeschger (D-O) cycles in Sofular and comparison of stalagmite and ice core chronologies.

Comparison of D-O pacing between: a D-O cycles during the last glacial period, recorded in the Greenland ice core NGRIP (data from Rasmussen et al.3), the Sofular stacked record and a Speleothem Interstadial Onset Compilation (SIOC19) data set (data from Corrick et al.15) and b D-O cycles of the penultimate glacial period, recorded in the synthetic ice core record22, the Sofular stacked record, the Huagapo Cave speleothem record17 and the Sanbao Cave speleothem record16. Numbers within the legends refer to the average pacings of D-O events which are taken into account by black arrows.
