Coupled relative geomagnetic paleointensity (RPI) and oxygen isotope records are used to construct RPI and oxygen isotope stacks for the last 1.5 Myr. The coupled correlations are accomplished using the Match algorithm (Lisiecki, L.E., and Lisiecki, P.A., 2002. Application of dynamic programming to the correlation of paleoclimate records. Paleoceanography, 17: 1049, doi:10.1029/2001PA000733) to simultaneously correlate isotope and RPI records. The simultaneous match reduces the degree of freedom associated with correlations using RPI or oxygen isotope records alone. The overall compatibility of RPI and oxygen isotopes indicates a dominant global (but independent) component in both signals. The local wavelet power spectrum (LWPS) for the RPI stack indicates little significant orbital power, although the accompanying oxygen isotope stack has all the LWPS characteristics expected of a high-resolution …
