Reconciling glacial Antarctic water stable isotopes with ice sheet topography and the isotopic paleothermometer

Despite their importance, the accuracy of the quantitative interpretation of Antarctic ice core stable water isotope records remains a matter of debate. Here, the authors use an isotope-enabled atmospheric general circulation model to test and validate the isotopic paleothermometer approach.
