Table 3 Main descriptive parameters and Fourier frequency results of the δ18O subcomponents isolated from the detrended component-1 and component-2 by singular spectrum analysis. The processing of the subcomponents was conducted to better separate and estimate the variance fraction of specific frequency bands from still complex data components. The italicized percentage values are the absolute variance of the subcomponents (referred to the total LR04 variance)
