These tests show that the sensitivity of the MJP feeds for the “B” mounting position is comparable to the Erickson dipoles. For the “C” mounting position the MJP sensitivity is a factor of two worse than...

This study analyzes 39 Atlantic and seven Pacific benthic δC records to characterize obliquity and precession responses in Atlantic overturning since 3 Ma. Regional benthic δC stacks are also analyzed. A major transition in orbital responses is observed at 1.5–1.6 Ma coincident with the first glacial shoaling of Northern Component Water. Since ∼1.5 Ma, the phases of Atlantic benthic δC records ...
