Objective

The scientific objective of the RETRO project is to reconstruct the variations of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation during the last ice age, the last deglaciation and the Holocene. More specifically, the objectives were: (1) to reconstruct the vertical temperature and density gradients and their evolution during climate changes over the past sixty thousand years in the tropical Atlantic; (2) analyze the links between climate changes at low and high latitudes through innovative modeling experiments using the high quality data generated in (1). This falls under the ESF EuroMARC RETRO (Response of tropical Atlantic surface and intermediate waters to changes in the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation) programme.
