| We analyze the surface sigma O-18 - salinity relationships of the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea, in the northern Indian Ocean, known for their contrasting hydrological conditions. New measurements of these tracers show a very low sigma O-18 - salinity slope associated with the strong dilution in the Bay of Bengal, but a slope more typical of this latitude in the Arabian Sea. Although this region is marked by a complex monsoonal regime, numerical modeling using a box model and a general circulation model is able to capture the sigma O-18 - salinity slope and its geographical variation. Both models clearly show that the low sigma O-18 - salinity slope is due to the evaporation-minus-precipitation balance, with an important contribution of the continental... |

| The four climatic cycles obtained from the Vostok ice core offer a unique opportunity to study the high-frequency paleoclimatic variability, i.e., on time scales smaller than 15 kyr. We focused our study on the deuterium (deltaD) and deuterium excess (d) records, which are proxies for local temperature and remote evaporation source temperature and hence give us access to spatial climatic variations. Spectral analyses of paleoclimatic records have shown that the last glacial period (110-15 kyr before present) is characterized by large and fast temperature oscillations. Examples of such variations in the Northern Hemisphere are the so-called Dansgaard-Oeschger oscillations and Heinrich events. At Vostok, these oscillations are also imprinted in the ice, with... |
