Abstract Spectral analysis of deep-sea sediments indicates that the fluctuations in compositional parameters are not random fluctuations with time. Spectra show significant peaks representing periodicities in the data of 380, 1300, and 2600 years. Two of these periods are similar to periods reported in 14 C fluctuations. Analysis of a paleotemperature curve from the North Atlantic shows that the characteristics of the fluctuations within interglacial and glacial stages of the climate are similar, and that the spectrum has a significant peak at 2600 years.
