ATR-FTIR analyses were made every sample and as such the fractionation of the communalities is shown here along with a summary of changes in the SEK2016 sequence.

Note that changes are described in relation to the preceding unit. We compare with the PWetQ reconstruction for the southern central SRZ and MAT from Chevalier and Chase [ 103 ] to provide regional context. In order to track changes in the North Atlantic and Antarctica, NGRIP and Dome C ice core δ 18 O are plotted [ 104 , 105 ]. Also shown are reconstructed SST from two Indian Ocean marine cores, GeoB9307-3 and MD79257, from off the coast of Mozambique near the southern boundary of the present day seasonal ITCZ migration [ 15 , 16 ].
