Figure 3. Variability in bromine enrichment occurs on stadial-interstadial scales.

Figure 3

Bromine enrichment follows the NGRIP δ18O temperature paleoproxy profile during abrupt climate changes in the glacial. The greatest Brenr values observed in the Holocene (panel a) occur during the Holocene Climate Optimum and not in the most recent samples. In the glacial (panel b), consistently lower Brenr values are observed, corresponding to a greater extent of multi-year sea ice in the Canadian Arctic. Bromine enrichment does not closely follow 65°N summer solstice insolation45. Note the scales are identical in both panels.
