Figure 6.9 : I cannot generate S and N latitudes, can someone of you edit the figure to generate positive latitudes? Same for Figure Box 6.1, Figure 1 : they suggest to label the RH vertical axes but they have the same unit as the LH vertical axis. How should I proceed? For Figure Box 6.3, 1 : should Olga reprocess it? (they ask for a change in caption) FAQ should refer to Figure 1, Faq 6.1 APPENDIX ------------- The definition of O-isotopes is partly false. The isotopic composition of ice depends on temperature not because the fractionation coefficients depend on temperature but due to the progressive distillation of water masses en route for the poles. Even if fractionation coefficients were to be independent of temperature would one see a temperature / isotopic composition relationship. All the best, Valérie.
