In the mid-Pleistocene, the period of glacial cycles changed from 41kyr to 100kyr.

In the mid-Pleistocene, the period of glacial cycles changed from 41kyr to 100kyr. The zonal SST gradient increased during MPT due to the cooling in the EEP and relatively stable WEP. Correlation of interannual SST anomalies between the site of Hole 806B and other regions of the tropics.
