The southern westerly wind belt (SWW) interacts with the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and strongly impacts the Southern Ocean carbon budget, and Antarctic ice-sheet dynamics across glacial- interglacial cycles. We investigated precipitation-driven sediment input changes to the Southeast Pacific off...
