Table 1 Main descriptive parameters and Fourier frequency results of the five δ18O components isolated from the LR04 signal by singular spectrum analysis. The spectral peaks of the trend component-1 are not significant (< 50% of critical significance level) and are shown only for the purpose of discussion. Original LR04 data from Lisiecki and Raymo (2005b) are resampled at 1 kyr
