Holocene variability in the inflowing North Atlantic waters into the Mediterranean Sea

This manuscript presents a new high resolution Sea Surface Temperature (SST) record from the Alboran Sea that covers whole Holocene and part of the deglaciation and based on Mg/Ca ratios on plankthic foraminifera. Maximum SST were reached in the early Holocene and several millennial scale oscillation occurred but they were particularly intense at the Late Holocene. Theses patterns are associated to changes in the North Atlantic Oceanography and transmitted into the Mediterranean through the inflowing surface waters.
