Thermohaline instability and the formation of glacial North Atlantic super polynyas at the onset of Dansgaard‐Oeschger warming events

Abstract Late Quaternary rapid warming events inferred on the basis of oxygen isotopic data from Greenland ice cores are the most prominent characteristic of millennial‐scale Dansgaard‐Oeschger oscillations. In a coupled climate model simulation which has accurately reproduced this oscillatory behav...
