To reconstruct the history of water mass exchange between the NE Atlantic and the Nordic seas, sediment cores from ∼2 km water depth were studied across Termination II (TII) and through the last interglaciation (MIS5e). During early TII the sudden appearance of the low-latitude planktonic foraminife...
