We present new \nmeasurements of atmospheric nitrous oxide along the ice cores of the \nNorth Greenland Ice Core Project and Talos Dome sites. Using records \nof several other ice cores, we are now able to establish the first \ncomplete composite nitrous oxide record reaching back to the beginning \nof the previous interglacial about 140,000 yr ago. On the basis of \nsuch composite ice core records, we further calculate the radiative \nforcing of the three most important greenhouse gases carbon dioxide, \nmethane and nitrous oxide during more than a full glacial-interglacial \ncycle. Nitrous oxide varies in line with climate, reaching very low \nconcentrations of about 200 parts per billion by volume during Marine \nIsotope Stages 4 and 2, and showing substantial responses to millennial \ntime scale climate variations during the last glacial. A large part \nof these millennial time scale variations can be explained by parallel \nchanges in the sources of methane and nitrous oxide. However, as \nrevealed by high-resolution measurements covering the Dansgaard/Oeschger \nevents 17 to 15, the evolution of these two greenhouse gases may be \ndecoupled on the centennial time scale. Carbon dioxide and methane \nconcentrations do not reach interglacial levels in the course of \nmillennial time scale climate variations during the last glacial. \nIn contrast, nitrous oxide often reaches interglacial concentrations \nin response to both, glacial terminations and Dansgaard/Oeschger events. \nThis indicates, from a biogeochemical point of view, similar drivers \nin both temporal cases. While carbon dioxide and methane concentrations \nare more strongly controlled by climate changes in high latitudes, \nnitrous oxide emissions changes may mainly stem from the ocean and/or \nfrom soils located at low latitudes. Accordingly, we speculate that \nhigh latitudes could play the leading role to trigger glacial \nterminations. \n","author":null,"citation":"Schilt, A., M. Baumgartner, J. Schwander, D. Buiron, \nE.
