    Notes: Abstract  We provide a reconstruction of atmospheric CO2 from deep-sea sediments, for the past 625 000 years (Milankovitch chron). Our database consists of a Milankovitch template of sea-level variation in combination with a unique data set for the deep-sea record for Ontong Java plateau in the western equatorial Pacific. We redate the Vostok ice-core data of Barnola et al. (1987). To make the reconstructions we employ multiple regression between deep-sea data, on one hand, and ice-core CO2 data in Antarctica, on the other. The patterns of correlation suggest that the main factors controlling atmospheric CO2 can be described as a combination of sea-level state and sea-level change. For best results squared values of state and change are used. The square-of-sea-level rule agrees with the concept that shelf processes are important modulators of atmospheric CO2 (e.g., budgets of shelf organic carbon and shelf carbonate, nitrate reduction). The square-of-change rule implies that, on short timescales, any major disturbance of the system results in a temporary rise in atmospheric CO2.

    Description: Changes in heat transport associated with fluctuations in the strength of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) are widely considered to affect the position of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), but the temporal immediacy of this teleconnection has to date not been resolved. Based on a high‐resolution marine sediment sequence over the last deglaciation, we provide evidence for a synchronous and near‐linear link between changes in the Atlantic interhemispheric sea surface temperature difference and continental precipitation over northeast Brazil. The tight coupling between AMOC strength, sea surface temperature difference, and precipitation changes over northeast Brazil unambiguously points to a rapid and proportional adjustment of the ITCZ location to past changes in the Atlantic meridional heat transport.

    Description: The fine fraction of surface sediment samples in the Norwegian Sea shows an unexpectedly high amount of calcareous nannoplankton. Investigations, using time-series sediment traps in the Lofoten Basin (69°N, 1983/84), near Bear Island (75°N, 1984/85) and in the Fram Strait (78°N, 1984/85) provided information about the accumulation of this material in relation to the strong seasonality of biological production. Coccolith identification and counting, by means of a scanning electron microscope, indicated that the coccolith assemblages in the traps consist almost entirely of the two speciesEmiliania huxleyi andCoccolithus pelagicus. These species dominated the flux rate of the nannoplankton carbonate. A further eight species only made minor contributions to the flux. In the Lofoten Basin a distinct seasonality could be recognized in both standing crop and carbonate flux. Also the relationship between the two main species and the proportion of intact coccospheres showed an annual cycle. In the sample series of the two northerly traps the seasonality was less distinct. In general, the coccolith flux decreases towards the North. This was particularly evident for the smaller speciesE. huxleyi, while the number of massiveC. pelagicus coccoliths — and so the coccolith carbonate flux — diminished only slightly. Additional investigations on water samples from the Norwegian Sea revealed species compositions that differed greatly from those in the sediment traps. This suggests that selective processes change the relative species proportions during sedimentation.

    Description: Incorporation of boron into foraminiferal shells is thought to be primarily governed by the carbonate chemistry of the ambient seawater, suggesting that it can be reconstructed from B/Ca ratios. To this end, B/Ca ratios of the benthic foraminifer Planulina wuellerstorfi from South Atlantic core top samples have been analyzed using laser ablation−inductively coupled plasma−mass spectroscopy (LA-ICP-MS) to provide additional information on intratest trace element heterogeneity. Results show that boron is heterogeneously distributed within and between shells, with content variations of approximately ±43% displayed within a single shell. B/Ca is higher in the youngest chambers, opposite to the observed between-chamber variability of Mg/Ca. This may be explained by ontogenetic changes of physiological processes that increase the pH of the calcifying fluid and thus the borate concentration while decreasing Mg/Ca to promote calcification. Despite this heterogeneity, mean B/Ca ratios are positively correlated with the deepwater calcite saturation state (Δ[CO32–]), in line with previous studies. We apply this empirical relationship to reconstruct Δ[CO32–] for the late Pleistocene to Holocene using samples from a depth transect in the equatorial Atlantic. Reconstructed Δ[CO32–] values confirm previous studies suggesting that CaCO3-oversaturated North Atlantic Deep Water was reduced during glacial periods, whereas CaCO3-undersaturated Antarctic Bottom Water expanded vertically and propagated northwards. In summary, our data demonstrate that bulk B/Ca in P. wuellerstorfi reliably reflects variations in Δ[CO32–], despite the strong physiological control of boron incorporation.

    Description: Mg/Ca ratios of surface and subsurface dwelling foraminifera provide valuable information about the past temperature of the water column. Planktonic foraminifera calcify over a period of weeks to months. Therefore, the range of Mg/Ca temperatures obtained from single specimens potentially records seasonal temperature changes. We present solution-derived Mg/Ca ratios for single specimens of the planktonic foraminifera species Globigerinoides ruber (pink), Globigerinoides ruber (white), and Globorotalia inflata from a sediment trap off northwest Africa (20°45.6′N, 18°41.9′W). Cleaning of single specimens was achieved using a flow-through system in order to prevent sample loss. Mg/Ca ratios of surface dwelling G. ruber (pink) show strong seasonality linked to sea surface temperature. Mg/Ca ratios of G. ruber (white) do not show such seasonality. Subsurface dwelling G. inflata flux is largest during the main upwelling season, but Mg/Ca ratios reflect annual temperatures at intermediate water depths. The sediment trap time series suggests that changes in the range of Mg/Ca ratios exhibited by single specimens of G. ruber (pink) and G. inflata from the sedimentary record should provide information on the past temperature range under which these species calcified. Statistical analysis suggests detectable changes in the Mg/Ca range are ≥0.80 mmol/mol (G. ruber (pink)) and ≥0.34 mmol/mol (G. inflata). For G. ruber (pink), such changes would indicate changes in the seasonal sea surface temperature range 〉4°C or a shift in the main calcification and reproductive period. For G. inflata, such changes would indicate 〉1.7°C changes in the thermocline temperature or a change in the depth habitat.
