It is still unclear how the PBO and the number of climate events observed 23 in Greenland ice cores and European terrestrial records are related to one another. This is mainly due to 24 uncertainties in the chronologies of the records. Here, we present new high resolution 10Be concentration data from 25 the varved Meerfelder Maar sediment record in Germany, spanning the period 11,310-11,000 years BP.
