Complexity of Holocene Climate as Reconstructed from a Greenland Ice Core
S. R. O'Brien,Paul Andrew Mayewski,L. D. Meeker,D. A. Meese,Mark S. Twickler,Sallie I. Whitlow +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the chemical composition of the atmosphere was dynamic during the Holocene epoch and concentrations of sea salt and terrestrial dusts increased in Summit snow during the periods 0 to 600, 2400 to 3100, 5000 to 6100, 7800 to 8800, and more than 11,300 years ago.

Major features and forcing of high-latitude northern hemisphere atmospheric circulation using a 110,000-year-long glaciochemical series
Paul Andrew Mayewski,L. D. Meeker,Mark S. Twickler,Sallie I. Whitlow,Qinzhao Yang,W. Berry Lyons,Michael L. Prentice +6 more
TL;DR: The Greenland Ice Sheet Project 2 glaciochemical series (sodium, potassium, ammonium, calcium, magnesium, sulfate, nitrate, and chloride) provides a unique view of the chemistry of the atmosphere and the history of atmospheric circulation over both the high latitudes and mid-low latitudes of the northern hemisphere as discussed by the authors.

A 1400-year high-resolution record of atmospheric circulation over the North Atlantic and Asia:
TL;DR: In this article, the major ion series developed from new subannual scale sampling of an ice core from central Greenland are calibrated with instrumental series of atmospheric sea-level pressure recording major marine (Icelandic Low) and terrestrial (Siberian High) atmospheric circulation systems to provide proxy records of atmospheric circulation over the past 1400 years.

The atmosphere during the younger dryas.
Paul Andrew Mayewski,L. D. Meeker,Sallie I. Whitlow,Mark S. Twickler,Michael C. Morrison,Richard B. Alley,Peter Bloomfield,Kendrick C. Taylor +7 more
TL;DR: High-resolution, continuous glaciochemical records, newly retrieved from central Greenland, record the chemical composition of the arctic atmosphere at this time, showing that both the onset and termination of the Younger Dryas occurred within 10 to 20 years and that massive, frequent, and short-term changes in atmospheric composition occurred throughout this event.

Bipolar Changes in Atmospheric Circulation During the Little Ice Age
Karl J. Kreutz,Paul Andrew Mayewski,L. D. Meeker,Mark S. Twickler,Sallie I. Whitlow,I. I. Pittalwala +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that meridional atmospheric circulation intensity increased in the polar South Pacific and North Atlantic at the beginning (∼ 1400 A.D.) of the most recent Holocene rapid climate change event, the Little Ice Age (LIA), and this variability persists today despite strong evidence for an end to LIA cooling.
