(Grotte de Piste, Morocco, 34° N; 04° W) providing a reconstruction of effective rainfall from
619 to 1962 AD. The corresponding drip site was monitored over 2 yr for drip water Mg/Ca
and Sr/Ca ratios. Results show evidence for prior aragonite precipitation, which can explain
negative correlations between speleothem Mg and Sr concentrations. The data shown here
have important climate implications concerning the evolution of the North Atlantic Oscillation …
