Description:
The last glacial period was characterised by a highly var-
iable climate including abrupt changes such as Heinrich
and Dansgaard-Oeschger events. In contrast, the Holocene
time period was observed as relatively stable. This variabi-
lity change is often discussed based on data from polar ice
cores, particularly from Greenland.
Here, we contrast the polar ice core-based variability
change with the variability change recorded by a global
compilation of multi-proxy records. Estimated spatial
patterns of changes point towards mechanisms generating
glacial and Holocene climate variability. Furthermore, our
analysis allows insight into the abilities of the different pro-
xy sensors concerning the recording of climate variability.
