Comparison of speleothem δ¹⁸O records from North Atlantic and tropical Pacific regions. (A, B) NGRIP δ¹⁸O on the GICC05 chronology (25) and Seso δ¹⁸O record from the North Atlantic region, respectively. (C–F) Palawan (48), Borneo (49), Sumatra (50), and Liang Luar (51) records from the western tropical Pacific and nearby regions. (G, H) are NC-B/ELC-B/NAR-C (53, 54) and Juxtlahuaca (52) records near the eastern tropical Pacific. (I) Jaraguá record from the South American Monsoon domain (this study). (J) Patate record from the South Indian Ocean (59). Error bars depict the typical age error of each record. Two vertical dashed red lines mark the initial onset (12,870 ± 30 B.P.) and initial termination (11,700 ± 40 B.P.) of the YD. The vertical purple line indicates the initial termination in two SH records, (I) and (J), at ∼11,900 B.P., consistent with the WAIS record (Fig. 4). The vertical dashed green line indicates the beginning of the YD termination excursion in the western tropical Pacific at ∼12,300 B.P. Kyr BP, 1 × 10³ B.P.
