Southward Migration of the Intertropical Convergence Zone Through the Holocene

TL;DR: The Cariaco Basin record exhibits strong correlations with climate records from distant regions, including the high-latitude Northern Hemisphere, providing evidence for global teleconnections among regional climates.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the Structure and Origin of Major Glaciation Cycles 1. Linear Responses to Milankovitch Forcing

TL;DR: Starr et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that the 23,000 and 41,000-year cycles of glaciation are continuous, linear responses to orbitally driven changes in the Arctic radiation budget, and used the phase progression in each climatic cycle to identify the main pathways along which the initial, local responses to radiation are propagated by the atmosphere and ocean.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the Structure and Origin of Major Glaciation Cycles .2. the 100,000-year Cycle

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present phase observations showing that the geographic progression of local responses over the 100,000-year cycle is similar to the progression in the other two cycles, implying that a similar set of internal climatic mechanisms operates in all three.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid changes in the hydrologic cycle of the tropical Atlantic during the last glacial.

TL;DR: Sedimentary time series of color reflectance and major element chemistry from the anoxic Cariaco Basin off the coast of northern Venezuela record large and abrupt shifts in the hydrologic cycle of the tropical Atlantic during the past 90,000 years, which supports the notion that tropical feedbacks played an important role in modulating global climate during the last glacial period.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of the intertropical convergence zone on the East Asian monsoon

TL;DR: High-resolution records of the magnetic properties and the titanium content of the sediments of Lake Huguang Maar in coastal southeast China over the past 16,000 years are presented, using as proxies for the strength of the winter monsoon winds, to suggest that these migrations in the tropical rain belt could have contributed to the declines of both the Tang dynasty in China and the Classic Maya in Central America.
