Short summary
We explore the utility of the archaeal-derived lipid biomarker as paleoenvironmental proxies in the Southern Ocean. Based on a reanalysis of the Southern Ocean dataset, we propose a new indicator for reconstructing zonal water mass movements in the Southern Ocean and temperatures in the Antarctic Zone. Applying this method to late Pleistocene sediment cores validates its reliability, confirming a valuable new tool for reconstructing the paleoenvironment of the Southern Ocean.
