  <Summary>
    <Abstract>Antarctic ice cores provide clear evidence of a close coupling 
between variations in Antarctic temperature and the atmospheric 
concentration of CO2 during the glacial/interglacial cycles of 
at least the past 800-thousand years. Precise information on 
the relative timing of the temperature and CO2 changes can 
assist in refining our understanding of the physical processes 
involved in this coupling. Here, we focus on the last deglaciation, 
19 000 to 11 000 yr before present, during which CO2 concentrations 
increased by ~80 parts per million by volume and Antarctic 
temperature increased by ~10°C. Utilising a recently developed
proxy for regional Antarctic temperature, derived from five
near-coastal ice cores and two ice core CO2 records with high
dating precision, we show that the increase in CO2 likely lagged 
the increase in regional Antarctic temperature by less than 400 yr 
and that even a short lead of CO2 over temperature cannot be 
excluded. This result, consistent for both CO2 records, implies 
a faster coupling between temperature and CO2 than previous 
estimates, which had permitted up to millennial-scale lags.
 
          STUDY NOTES: CO2 data from the Byrd and Siple Dome ice cores placed on 
the Greenland Ice Core Chronology 2005 (GICC05) timescale 
for 9 - 21 KYrBP.
