摘要：Recently, ice core scientists have ob-tained for the first time a Greenland ice core record covering the entire last inter-glacial (LIG; Dahl-Jensen this issue; NEEM community members 2013). Previously, ice cores drilled in Greenland have shown that the stable water isotopic value (¦Ä18O) of LIG ice at fixed elevation was enriched relative to present day, with a maximum enrichment across central Greenland re-gions of at least +3¡ë at 126 k a BP (e.g. NorthGRIP Project members 2004). This +3¡ë enrichment has been interpreted as indicating LIG Greenland warmth, but also lower LIG ice sheet topography or warmth outside of Greenland. Thus, achieving a better understanding of the regional driv-ers of Greenland precipitation ¦Ä18O is of broad interest to the ice core and wider paleoclimate communities
