A model-based interpretation of low frequency changes in the carbon cycle during the last 120,000 years and its implications for the reconstruction of atmospheric D14C
A main caveat in the interpretation of observed changes in atmospheric D14C during the last 50,000 years is the unknown variability of the carbon cycle, which together with changes in the 14C production rates determines the 14C dynamics. A plausible scenario explaining glacial/interglacial dynamics...

A main caveat in the interpretation of observed changes in atmospheric D14C during the last 50,000 years is the unknown variability of the carbon cycle, which together with changes in the 14C production rates determines the 14C dynamics. A plausible scenario explaining glacial/interglacial dynamics seen in atmospheric CO2 and d13C was proposed recent ly [Köhler et al., 2005]. A similar approach and expanding its interpretation to the 14C cycle is an important step towards a deeper understanding of D14C variability. This approach is based on an ocean/atmosphere/biosphere box model of the global carbon cycle (BICYCLE) to reproduce low freque ncy changes in atmospheric CO2 as seen in Antarctic ice cores.
