Description: Benthic δ18O data from 95 core sites are used to infer possible temperature-salinity (T-S) fields of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans at the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). A constraint of stable density stratification yields logically consistent scenarios for both T and S. The solutions are not unique but are useful as a thinking tool. To better constrain the inferences drawn from the spatial distribution of benthic δ18O, we must reduce scatter in the δ18O data with more high-quality measurements in high sedimentation rate cores. Also, we must intercalibrate mass spectrometers at different isotope laboratories more accurately, to insure our isotope data are compatible.
