  Proposing a Mechanistic Understanding of Atmospheric CO2 During the late Pleist

Carbon Cycle Response to Climate ChangeBy Peter Koehler

Paleo-climate records in ice cores revealed high variability in temperature, atmospheric dust content and carbon dioxide. The longest CO2 record from the Antarctic ice core of the Vostok station went back in time as far as about 410 kyr BP showing a switch of glacials and interglacials in all those parameters approximately every 100 kyr during the last four glacial cycles with CO2 varying between 180-300 ppmv [Petit et al., 1999]. New measurements of dust and the isotopic temperature proxy deuterium of the EPICA Dome C (EDC) ice core covered the last 740 kyr, however, revealed glacial cycles of reduced temperature amplitude [EPICA community members, 2004]. These new archives offer the possibility to propose atmospheric CO2 for the pre-Vostok time span as called for in the EPICA challenge [Wolff et al., 2004]. Here, we contribute to this challenge using a box model of the isotopic carbon cycle [Köhler et al., 2005] based on process understanding previously derived for Termination I. Our results show that major features of the Vostok period are reproduced while prior to Vostok our model predicts significantly smaller amplitudes in CO2 variations.
