    Abstract
    The dominant period of the Late Pleistocene
    glacialrCointerglacial cycles is roughly 100rCekyr,
    rather than other major astronomical periods
    such as 19, 23, 41, and 400rCekyr. Various models
    explain this fact through distinct dynamical
    mechanisms, including synchronization of
    self-sustained oscillations and resonance in
    mono- or multi-stable systems. However, the
    diversity of proposed models and dynamical
    mechanisms may obscure the essential factor
    behind the emergence of the re+100rCekyr
    periodicity. We propose the hypothesis that the
    ice-sheet climate system responds to astronomical
    forcing at the re+100rCekyr periodicity because the
    intrinsic timescale of the system is closer to
    100rCekyr than to other major astronomical periods.
    We support this idea with analyses and
    sensitivity studies of several simple ice age
    models with contrasting mechanisms.
