“…Comparison of the JS9 δ 18 O record with other records of MIS 5-MIS 6 age from Europe and the Middle East. The records used for the comparison are as follows: NGRIP(Andersen et al, 2004); Magurska(Pawlak et al, 2020), Baradla(Demény et al, 2017); Orlova Tchuka(Pawlak et al, 2019), Schneckenloch (Mosley et al, 2015, Hölloch(Moseley et al, 2015), NALPS(Boch et al, 2011), Entrische Kirche(Meyer et al, 2008), Bourgeois-Delaunay(Couchoud et al, 2009), Cobre(Rossi et al, 2014), Han-sur-Lesse(Vansteenberge et al, 2016), Antro del Corchia(Drysdale et al, 2005), Soreq(Bar-Matthews et al, 2003), Peqiin (Bar-Matthews et al, 2003 and Kanaan(Nehme et al, 2015). The black and grey lines refer to speleothems where temperature is a dominant factor influencing the δ 18 O value, green lines denote speleothems where changes in the isotopic composition of rainwater and the amount of precipitation are dominant factors influencing the δ 18 O value, and the red line denotes the study site.…”
