A possible marine mechanism for internally generated long-period climate cycles.

By reinterpreting the 'sea-ice extent' discussed in a recently proposed model of auto-oscillatory climatic change to represent high-inertia grounded and shelf sea ice forms, instead of thinner marine ice forms, it is possible for the model to yield a much longer period of auto-oscillation,...

Description
Summary:By reinterpreting the 'sea-ice extent' discussed in a recently proposed model of auto-oscillatory climatic change to represent high-inertia grounded and shelf sea ice forms, instead of thinner marine ice forms, it is possible for the model to yield a much longer period of auto-oscillation, perhaps as much as 100 000yr (the dominant period of ice volume variations revealed by deep-sea ocean cores).
