abstract = {During the last glacial interval, the Northern Hemisphere
climate was punctuated by a series of abrupt changes between
two characteristic climate regimes. The existence of stadial
(cold) and interstadial (milder) periods is typically
attributed to a hypothesised bistability in the glacial
North Atlantic climate system, allowing for rapid
transitions from the stadial to the interstadial state –
the so-called Dansgaard–Oeschger (DO) events – and more
gradual yet still fairly abrupt reverse shifts. The physical
mechanisms driving these regime transitions remain debated.
DO events are characterised by substantial warming over
Greenland and a reorganisation of the Northern Hemisphere
atmospheric circulation, which are evident from concomitant
shifts in the δ18O ratios and dust concentration records
from Greenland ice cores. Treating the combined δ18O and
dust record obtained by the North Greenland Ice Core Project
(NGRIP) as a realisation of a two-dimensional,
time-homogeneous, and Markovian stochastic process, we
present a reconstruction of its underlying deterministic
drift based on the leading-order terms of the
Kramers–Moyal equation. The analysis reveals two basins of
attraction in the two-dimensional state space that can be
identified with the stadial and interstadial regimes. The
drift term of the dust exhibits a double-fold bifurcation
structure, while – in contrast to prevailing assumptions
– the δ18O component of the drift is clearly mono-stable.
This suggests that the last glacial's Greenland temperatures
should not be regarded as an intrinsically bistable climate
variable. Instead, the two-regime nature of the δ18O record
is apparently inherited from a coupling to another bistable
climate process. In contrast, the bistability evidenced in
the dust drift points to the presence of two stable
circulation regimes of the last glacial's Northern
Hemisphere atmosphere.},
