Atlantic deep water provenance decoupled from atmospheric CO2 concentration during the lukewarm interglacials

How deep ocean circulation is linked to changes in atmospheric CO2 concentration remains uncertain. Here, the authors show that deep equatorial Atlantic Ocean water mass provenance was similar throughout all interglacials of the past 800 kyr, despite variable interglacial atmospheric CO2 concentrati...
