Colour code indicates data available for both time periods (black), the Holocene only (red), or the LGM only (blue).

5 S Model input parameters S-1: List of abbreviations and values for the Holocene and LGM parameters 19. Higher K 1 were used south of 4 S for the LGM and between 2. and 6 N for the Holocene to represent the higher opal concentrations of particles settling in the Southern Ocean and in the Northern North Atlantic. The glacial expansion of the southern opal belt is represented by a northward shift of the opal belt value and a gradual change over to the main basin K 1. Lower K Th 1 at S- S for the LGM accounts for the high percentage of opal in the settling material of this region.

6 S-2: Latitudinal variations of the equilibrium Fractionation Factors (FF) used in the model. FF is the fractionation factor that would be measured if particles were in equilibrium with surrounding seawater and is calculated from the 231 and 23 Th adsorption and desorption rate constant 3 : FF = ( 231 / 23 Th) diss / ( 231 / 23 Th) part.

S S S S S S 7 S.9 same Differences between Holocene and LGM account for shifts in the position of high biogenic opal flux regions. For the LGM, the southern opal belt was shifted ~ to the north 49, and the northern opal region was removed to account for the lower preserved opal fluxes due to sea ice cover. Fractionation factors were kept constant over the rest of the Atlantic Ocean (a reasonable assumption considering that the mean concentrations of opal in the Holocene and LGM sediment reported in Table S1 are similar: Holocene mean: 2.6 %, n=37, 1 SD=1.6 %; LGM mean=3.7 %, n=32, 1 SD=1.9 %). The position of the zone of Northern deep water formation was also shifted to the south by 1 degrees during the LGM 1 (S4). 6
7 S6 Tests on the geometry of the glacial AMOC S6-1: Very shallow northern overturning cell In addition to a shallow GNAIW overturning cell (S4-2) and the deep Holocene overturning scheme (S4-1) shown in Fig. 4a very shallow scheme (S4-3), based on a recent modelling study using the benthic δ 13 C database 11 has been tested. In this model geometry the penetration of GNAIW is limited to the upper 2 m and the core of the overturning cell is around 7 m. The fit between this model's results and observations is shown by stars and compared to the fit obtained with our optimal LGM geometry in the figure below. The very shallow geometry shows much weaker agreements with the LGM data base, primarily because of its inability to generate the low 231 / 23 Th values observed in the North Atlantic below 2 m (S7). The figure also shows the fit obtained between the LGM database and the model output generated with the Holocene geometry (black square). The grey lines indicate the result of a Monte-Carlo test in which a randomly generated data set of / 23 Th values (=number of LGM observations) uniformly distributed between.3 and.14 (~ the range of Atlantic 231 / 23 Th) was used in lieu of the 2d-model output. In one out of 1 million random data sets the mswd reached the upper grey line, in 1 out of 1 runs the lower grey line was crossed. 7

9 S6-2: Fit between model and observations above and below 3m Comparisons between model and observations above and below 3 m indicate that the fit is slightly poorer with stronger AABW. However, these differences are too small to be conclusive. This is because our database is skewed to the north where the influence of GNAIW is strongest. Increasing the South Atlantic database should provide a means to better constrain the strength of the glacial AABW 38. a: Cores deeper than 3 m: 9
10 b: Cores shallower than 3 m: 1
11 S6-3: Sensitivity test on the scavenging parameters used in the 2D model We tested the sensitivity of model output to scavenging parameters (fractionation factors, particle sinking rates) using the linear correlation coefficient r (a) and mswd (b) between the sediment 231 / 23 Th database and model output using the LGM circulation scheme (S4-2) and excluding samples with high opal or affected by boundary scavenging. rticle sinking rate (to test changes in particle flux) has been varied throughout the box model. Fractionation factor FF (to test changes in opal concentration) has been varied for the range between 6 N 4 S only, for other latitudes the values reported in S-2 have been kept. The best correlation is obtained with sinking rates of m/a and FF = 7.8. a 1. sensitivity test of model scavenging parameters linear correlation coefficient r FF=3.4 FF=.1 FF=7.8 FF=1. FF= particle sinking rate [m/year] b sensitivity test of model scavenging parameters particle sinking rate [m/year] mswd FF=3.4 FF=.1 FF=7.8 FF=1. FF=1.6 11
12 S6-4: Can the Holocene circulation scheme explain the LGM observations by varying particle parameters? Linear correlation coefficient r (a) and mswd (b) obtained between LGM sediment 231 / 23 Th and model output using the Holocene circulation scheme with varying particle sinking rate and fractionation factors. Poor correlations compared to the optimal LGM geometry (S4-2; 2 Sv GNAIW and 4 Sv AABW) and scavenging parameters (FF = 7.8; sinking rate = m/a) indicate that the LGM observations cannot be reproduced by increasing opal flux while keeping the Holocene circulation scheme. a.8 FF=3.4 FF=.1 linear correlation coefficient r FF=7.8 FF=1. FF=1.6 LGM FF= b.2 particle sinking rate [m/year] particle sinking rate [m/year] mswd FF=3.4 FF=.1 FF=7.8 FF=1. FF=1.6 LGM FF=7.8 12
