  <Summary>
    <Abstract>Although millennial-scale climate variability (&lt;10 ka) has been well studied during the last glacial cycles, little is known about this important aspect of climate in the early Pleistocene, prior to the Middle Pleistocene Transition. Here we present an early Pleistocene climate record at centennial resolution for two representative glacials (marine isotope stages (MIS) 37-41 from approximately 1235 to 1320 ka) during the &quot;41 ka world&quot; at Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Site U1385 (the &quot;Shackleton Site&quot;) on the southwest Iberian margin. Millennial-scale climate variability was suppressed during interglacial periods (MIS 37, MIS 39, and MIS 41) and activated during glacial inceptions when benthic d18O exceeded 3.2‰. Millennial variability during glacials MIS 38 and MIS 40 closely resembled Dansgaard-Oeschger events from the last glacial (MIS 3) in amplitude, shape, and pacing. The phasing of oxygen and carbon isotope variability is consistent with an active oceanic thermal bipolar see-saw between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres during most of the prominent stadials. Surface cooling was associated with systematic decreases in benthic carbon isotopes, indicating concomitant changes in the meridional overturning circulation. A comparison to other North Atlantic records of ice rafting during the early Pleistocene suggests that freshwater forcing, as proposed for the late Pleistocene, was involved in triggering or amplifying perturbations of the North Atlantic circulation that elicited a bipolar see-saw response. Our findings support similarities in the operation of the climate system occurring on millennial time scales before and after the Middle Pleistocene Transition despite the increases in global ice volume and duration of the glacial cycles. 
          STUDY NOTES: The study uses sections 1 to 6 in Core 339-U1385D-15H (123.59–135.82 meter below sea floor (mbsf)) and sections 5 and 6 in Core 339-U1385E-16H (135.24–136.97 mbsf). The splice tie point between the cores occurs at 147.32 corrected revised meters composite depth (crmcd) where U1385D-15H-6, 80 cm is tied to U1385E-16H-5, 59 cm, yielding a ~8 m long section (140.26–148.88 crmcd) spanning MIS 37–41. Depth is a corrected revised meter composite depth across all cores. 
 Instrument precision of repeated standard measurements was 0.06 per mil for d13C and 0.08 per mil for d18O. d18O U. peregrina record uses C. wuellerstorfi and C. mundulus values adjusted by +0.64 per mil. Precision of deep water temperature calculation is 0.87 degrees C. Precision of d18O water is 0.23 per mil SMOW. Error on Mg/Ca U. peregrina analysis: ~4-6%.
