  abstract = {{H}ere we present a new composite record from two well-dated speleothem records from two caves in {N}orthern {M}orocco. {T}he high-resolution record covers the last millennium allowing to detect multi-decadal to centennial periodicities. {O}ver the industrial period, delta {O}-18 values of our speleothems are shown to be dominated by the main mode of decadal variability in the {N}orth {A}tlantic region: the {N}orth {A}tlantic {O}scillation ({NAO}). {S}tatistical analyses confirm the previously reported multi-decadal variability related to the influence of the {A}tlantic {M}ultidecadal {O}scillation ({AMO}) in the region. {H}igh power and persistent centennial-scale periodicities, similar to the {V}ries-{S}uess 200-year solar cycle, are observed as well. {I}ndeed, comparison between solar activity reconstructions and our record confirms the in-phase relationship on centennial time-scales. {L}ow delta {O}-18 values, and hence negative phases of {NAO} that bring precipitation towards the {W}estern {M}editerranean, are observed during well-known solar minima periods. {T}he results are consistent with previous models which describe low irradiance as a trigger for southward shifts of precipitation-bearing westerlies during winter.},
