High frequency oscillations in the λ 13C composition of long chain fatty acids during MIS 3 appear to coincide with Dansgaard / Oeschger variability in high latitude ice cores, with positive (negative) excursions occurring during stadial (interstadial) periods.

In the previous period, the Younger Dryas stadial (YD), it was fairly stable too, although very cold.

The results suggest that warm Atlantic water never ceased to flow into the Nordic seas during the glacial period; inflow at the surface during the Holocene and warm interstadials changed to subsurface and intermediate inflow during cold stadials.

Once a temperature threshold is breached, abrupt events follow due to amplifying feedbacks, even within a few years, examples being (1) freeze events which followed temperature peaks during past interglacial peaks due to influx of cold ice - melt water into the north Atlantic Ocean; (2) the Dansgaard — Oeschger warming events during the last glacial period; (3) the Younger dryas stadial freeze and the Laurentian stadial freeze.

The numbering of enhanced drift - ice periods represents the unsuccessful attempt by Gerard Bond to correlate the now called Bond events with the ~ 1500 year Dansgaard - Oeschger stadial cycle, also reflected in ice - rafted debris records.
