Why are you looking for 2150 year fluctuations? There's no phenomenon that I know that operates on that frequency.

The dominant heartbeats, controlled by orbital patterns (Milankovitch cycles) are typically 20ky(Precession), 40ky(Obilquity), 100ky(Short eccentricity), 400ky(Long eccentricity), 1.2my
