A Cool, Nutrient‐Enriched Eastern Equatorial Pacific During the Mid‐Pleistocene Transition

Abstract The emergence of high‐amplitude, low‐frequency glacial‐interglacial cycles during the mid‐Pleistocene climate transition (MPT; 800–1,200 ka) is associated with global cooling. In the eastern equatorial Pacific, sea surface temperatures cooled, and the upwelling‐induced cold tongue expanded...
