Description

From the en:Vostok and en:EPICA (en:Antarctica) and GRIP (en:Greenland) en:ice cores: d-D and d-o-18, last 40kyr.

Horizontal axis: time before 1950 (I think). Vertical axis: d-D (or delta-O-18 * 10).

By William M. Connolley.

See en:Temperature record.

Note that d-D or d-O-18 is a en:proxy for temperature: more negative is colder; the period from 20 to 10 kyr shows the rise in temperature at the end of the last ice age. Note the en:Dansgaard-Oeschger events visible in the GRIP core but barely, if at all, in the Antarctic cores.

d-D and d-O-18 tend to be "the same" (http://www.iceandclimate.nbi.ku.dk/publications/papers/pdfs/242.pdf/) though a factor of 8 comparison would be better than 10.
