“…PR‐LA‐1 δ 18 O values in comparison with (from top to bottom) (a) δ 18 O values from the NGRIP ice core using the GICC05 timescale (Svensson et al, 2008). Numbers indicate GIs after Rasmussen et al (2014); (b) speleothem δ 18 O values from Terciopelo Cave, Costa Rica (Lachniet et al, 2009); (c) speleothem δ 18 O values from Santo Tomas Cave, Cuba (Warken et al, 2019); (d) δ 18 O values from Abaco island, Bahamas (Arienzo et al, 2017); (e) SST reconstructed from G. ruber Mg/Ca values from core JPC26, Florida Strait (Them Il et al, 2015); (f) G. ruber Mg/Ca values from Caribbean core VM12‐107 (Parker et al, 2015); (g) reflectance record from the Cariaco Basin off Venezuela reflecting the mean meridional position of the ITCZ (Deplazes et al, 2013); (h) 231 Pa/ 230 Th compilation from the Bermuda Rise reflecting the strength of the AMOC (Böhm et al, 2015; Henry et al, 2016; Lippold et al, 2009, 2019; McManus et al, 2004). Vertical blue bars indicate intervals of high PR‐LA‐1 δ 18 O values indicative of cool/dry periods in Puerto Rico coinciding with a weak AMOC, such as Heinrich stadials (HS) 1–5.…”
