We have a pretty good idea that the Heinrich events, with the most prominent bipolar seesaw behavior, are linked to ice - sheet behavior, but we're less confident about the non-Heinrich cold phases of the D / O oscillations (the cold phases do have more ice - rafted debris in these non-Heinrich cold - phases than in warm phases, but is that an ice - dynamical signal, a survival - of - icebergs signal, or something else?).

We have fairly high confidence that we observe the history of Heinrich events (huge discharges of ice - rafted debris from the Laurentide ice sheet through Hudson Bay that are roughly coincident with large southern warming, southward shift of the intertropical convergence zone, extensive sea ice in the north Atlantic, reduced monsoonal rainfall in at least some parts of Asia, and other changes), and also cold phases of the Dansgaard / Oeschger oscillations that lack Heinrich layers and are characterized by muted versions of the other climate anomalies I just mentioned.
