Fig. 3: Mechanistic forcings on the ACC variations.
From: Zonally asymmetric changes in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current strength over the past million years
a, Obliquity with inverted y axis. b, Temperature gradient between source and site from Dome Fuji ice core47. c, ACC strength variations at site MD11-3354 (blue) in the South Indian. d, Mozambique Channel Throughflow (red) variations at site IODP U147641. e, Agulhas Leakage proxies using Agulhas Leakage fauna (light purple) counts from cores GeoB-3603 and MD96-208140 and accumulation rates (number cm−2 kyr−1, dark purple) of Globorotalia menardii from ODP108739. Dashed frame indicates low-amplitude variations of obliquity and ACC strength. Grey bars mark obliquity minima.
