Each green stick corresponds to a deglaciation state. Height of the green stick represents the amplitude of the deglaciation in meter sea level equivalent. The width of each green stick and the associated green number indicate the duration of each of the deglaciation states. Grey roman numerals are termination names. Interval between two consecutive orange dots and the associated orange number corresponds to the time interval between two deglaciation onsets. Grey shaded area corresponds to a period of lower amplitude and higher frequency than the white area.
