Abstract. We evaluate the contribution of natural variability to the modern decrease in foraminiferal δ18O by relying on a 2200-yr-long, high-resolution record of oxygen isotopic ratio from a Central Mediterranean sediment core. Pre-industrial values are used to train and test two sets of algorithms that are able to forecast the natural variability in δ18O over the last 150 yr. These algorithms are based on autoregressive models and neural networks, respectively; they are applied separately to each of the δ18O series' significant variability components, rather than to the complete series. The separate components are extracted by singular-spectrum analysis and have narrow-band spectral content, which reduces the forecast error. By comparing the sum of the predicted low-frequency components to its actual values during the Industrial Era, we deduce that the natural contribution to these components of the modern δ18O variation decreased gradually, until it reached roughly 40%, as early as the end of the 1970s.

Polar phonon modes in single crystalline K3Cu(CN)4 and K3Ag(CN)4 have been experimentally studied by light scattering. Measurements at 293, 82 and 6 K made possible assignments in the low frequency region from 0 to about 700 cm-1 and the high frequency region from 2030 to about 2100 cm-1 originating from the C≡N stretching vibrations. Directional dispersion due to the anisotropy of K3Cu(CN)4 has been studied and allowed the identification of the transversal and longitudinal vibrations in the high frequency region. IR-reflectivity measurements, partly on the basis of the ATR-method, have been used in order to support the assignments in this region.
