Boyle, E.A. (1997). Cool tropical temperatures shift the global d¹⁸O-T relationship: An explanation for the ice core d¹⁸O - borehole thermometry conflict?. Geophysical Research Letters 24: doi: 10.1029/97GL00081. issn: 0094-8276.

The discrepancy between central Greenland borehole temperatures and the isotopic composition of Last Glacial Maximum ice can be explained by a shift in the Δ18O-T relationship for the hydrological cycle linked to cooler tropical temperatures. This concept is illustrated using a simple Rayleigh distillation model. An estimate for &agr;=ΔΔ18O/ΔT (LGM-Holocene) of -0.37?/¿C is determined with a simple graphical technique.¿ 1997 American Geophysical Union <
