Abstract:Abstract. The glacial-interglacial cycles of the Quaternary exhibit 41-kyr periodicity before the Mid-Pleistocene Transition (MPT) around 1.2–0.8 Myr ago and ~100-kyr periodicity after that. From the viewpoint of dynamical systems, proposed mechanisms generating these periodicities are broadly divided into two types: (i) nonlinear forced responses of a mono- or multi-stable climate system to the astronomical forcing, or (ii) synchronization of internal self-sustained oscillations to the astronomical forcing.
