Paleoclimates and chronology of the middle Würm megainterstadial on the West Siberian Plain

Three warming and two cooling episodes distinguished in the middle Wrm (Karginskian in Siberia, 5024 ka B.P.) are traced virtually everywhere and, in general, synchronously in northern Asia [14 and many others]. The amplitude of warming episodes is of importance for the status of this fragment of ge...

Summary:Three warming and two cooling episodes distinguished in the middle Wrm (Karginskian in Siberia, 5024 ka B.P.) are traced virtually everywhere and, in general, synchronously in northern Asia [14 and many others]. The amplitude of warming episodes is of importance for the status of this fragment of geological history. In Western Europe and North America, the warming episodes did not reach the parameters of the present-day climate, and the middle WrmWisconsin-ian is considered an interstadial virtually everywhere. According to most researchers [1, 37, and others], climate during the optimum warming in Siberia reached present-day parameters or was warmer (and/or milder) than the recent climate.
