1. The impact of the AMOC resumption in the western South Atlantic thermocline at the onset of the Last Interglacial
Thiago P. Santos, Douglas O. Lessa, Igor M. Venancio, Cristiano M. Chiessi, Stefan Mulitza, Henning Kuhnert, Ana Luiza S. Albuquerque
Glacial terminations are periods of fast ice-sheet desintegration, elevetion of global temperatures and release of carbon dioxide from the deep ocean to the atmosphere. These conditions turn such intervals well situated to the study of global climate changes. The warming of high latitudes is supported by the transfer of heat and salt from low latitudes. However, the documentation of how glacial terminations occurred in low latitude oceans are still poorly documented. In this study, we show through oxygen isotopes of planctonic foraminifera that thermocline waters from the Brazilian margin may have work as a source of hidrostatic instability to return the meridional circulation to its interglacial mode. The impact of this process may have produced a colder South Atlantic thermocline during the transition to the Last Interglacial (130 kyr ago).

13. Modelling tree ring cellulose δ18O variations in two temperature-sensitive tree species from North and South America
Aliénor Lavergne, Fabio Gennaretti, Camille Risi, Valérie Daux, Etienne Boucher, Martine M. Savard, Maud Naulier, Ricardo Villalba, Christian Bégin, and Joël Guiot
Tree rings are long-term recorders of past climate variations, but the origin of the climate signals imprinted is difficult to interpret. Here, using a complex model we show that the temperature signal recorded in tree rings from two species from North and South America is likely related to processes occurring at the leaf level. This result contributes to the quantitative interpretation of these proxies for their future exploitation for millennium-scale climate reconstructions.

14. Long-term response of oceanic carbon uptake to global warming via physical and biological pumps
Akitomo Yamamoto, Ayako Abe-Ouchi, and Yasuhiro Yamanaka
Millennial-scale decreases in oceanic CO2 uptake due to global warming projected by our GCM and offline biogeochemical model are consistent with previous long time simulations with EMIC. Sensitivity studies show that decreases in oceanic CO2 uptake are mainly caused by a weaker biological pump and seawater warming. Enhanced CO2 uptake due to weaker equatorial upwelling cancels reduced CO2 uptake due to weaker AMOC and AABW formation. Thus circulation change becomes a second-order process.
