This may reflect the dominance of anticyclonic circulation during the cold phases of the last deglaciation, responsible for strong winds leading to the advection of polar air masses equatorward. At lat 37°N, the predominant influence of the westerlies was established after 9.3 ka. This content is PDF only. Please click on the PDF icon to access.
