Last Interglacial and Early Glacial Circulation in the Northern North Atlantic Ocean
Abstract Studies of marine records from the northwestern European shelf and the northern North Atlantic suggest that last interglacial environments were less stable in this area than in the mid-latitude Atlantic. The influx of Atlantic water masses to the northern North Atlantic was generally higher...
