TL;DR: In the case of the central European rivers Elbe and Oder, another possibility that has been considered is a more frequent occurrence of a weather situation of the type ‘Zugstrasse Vb,’ where a low-pressure system travels from the Adriatic region northeastward, carrying moist air and bringing orographic rainfall in the mountainous catchment areas (Erzgebirge, Sudeten, and Beskids) as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed an annually resolved record of monsoon rainfall variation for the past 780 years based on annual layer thickness and stable isotope analyses of a laminated stalagmite from southern Arabia.

TL;DR: Stable oxygen isotopes in speleothems from northern India are used to reconstruct variations in Indian monsoon rainfall over the last two millennia to find that within the long-term context of this record, the current drying trend is not outside the envelope of monsoon's oscillatory variability, albeit at the lower edge of this variance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors employ the nonparametric stationary bootstrap with an average block length proportional to the maximum estimated persistence time of the data to obtain accurate confidence intervals for Pearson's correlation coefficient.

TL;DR: In this article, Ba/Ca records from Porites corals from the Malindi coral reef documenting the flux of suspended sediment from the Sabaki River with a sub-weekly resolution for the last 300 years are presented.
