The original d13C data was lost, and data digitized from Figure 3b by the WDC for Paleoclimatology in 2009 were not of acceptable resolution, and therefore removed 4/28/2021. Digitized d18O data from Frumkin et al. 1999 are available separately at: https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/study/8757 ABSTRACT SUPPLIED BY ORIGINATOR: A speleothem isotopic record taken from Jerusalem is used to reconstruct regional climate over the last 170,000 years. Glacial periods in Jerusalem were generally cooler and wetter than the present climate. Stage 5e in the desert margin of Jerusalem was extremely unstable, dry, and warm, and instability persisted throughout the transition to glacial conditions. The climate after stage 5e became gradually cooler and wetter over a 20,000-year interval and did not recover to interglacial conditions in stages 5c and 5a. The d13C varied by up to 12‰, from glacial (stages 6, 4, 3, 2) values of -10 to -12‰ that reflect dense C3 vegetation above the studied cave, and up to 0‰ in early stage 5 when there was probably complete loss of vegetation. The climatic instability during interglacial periods is much larger than during glacial periods, and glacial/interglacial transitions do not behave the same in each climatic cycle in this region.
