[1] In general, climate models show a 1.5-2 °C[1] drop in Antarctica and other temperate regions where glacial readvances[7][12][13] are typically evident.
Climate continued to warm after 13,000 years BP and glaciers showed signs of abrupt withdrawal from their respective ACR aged moraines.
[21][22][23][24] The principal proxy that tracks atmospheric cooling in Antarctic ice cores are the deuterium signatures which show negative deviations between 14,000 and 12,500 years BP.
[33] Paleoclimatic records from Tasmania have bracketed a local climate cooling event between 14,900 and 12,800 years BP, coincident with the ACR.
[35][36] A paucity in local fire events and an increase in cold-tolerant Rainforest taxa attest to this climatic cooling in Tasmania.
