Depth transects of benthic foraminiferal oxygen isotopes from the Atlantic Ocean show that glacial-interglacial changes are larger at deep (> similar to 2,000 m) than at intermediate water levels. Our model results suggest that the smaller changes in the upper 1,000 m of the water column are a result of the glacial sea level lowering of about 120 m, leading to warmer temperatures of around 1 degrees C and hence a smaller glacial-interglacial stable oxygen isotope difference. In contrast, a shoaling of the water mass boundary to similar to 2,000-m water depth between the northern and southern source waters is caused by the expansion of a cold (close to the freezing point) southern source water in the abyssal ocean, increasing the oxygen isotope values of benthic foraminifera from the Last Glacial Maximum in the deep Atlantic. These two effects explain the different amplitudes of glacial-interglacial stable oxygen isotope differences in the upper and deeper water column of the Atlantic Ocean.
