Earlier work is extended in which it was shown that a climate model including an accurate representation of the glacial isostatic adjustment process could produce ice volume fluctuations with 100,000-year periodicity from input with 20,000-year periodicity. (20,000 years is near the precessional periods which dominate the astronomical forcing below 60 degrees north latitude). The 100,000-year cycle in the model is examined in detail, and its sharp terminations are shown to be due to the formation of a gravitational potential well which causes rapid flow into the ablation zone during the retreat of large ice sheets. The meteorological parameters of the climate model are varied in a new set of sensitivity experiments which demonstrate that the nature of ice sheet oscillations appears to be fairly stable against such variations.
