Leon is gratefully acknowledged for laboratory assistance, P. deMenocal for Mg/Ca analyses at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO), and M. Segl for isotope analyses at Bremen University. We also thank C. Pelejero and two anonymous reviewers for valuable comments. Discussions with P. Köhler and R. Bintanja improved the manuscript. The oxygen isotope data are available in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Paleoclimatology database (www.ngdc. noaa.gov/paleo/data.html). This is LDEO contribution number 7261.
