TL;DR: In this article, the authors used sedimentological and pollen records to reconstruct precipitation patterns over the past 12,500 yr from sites along the windward side of the Andes, and found a distinct anti-phasing of wind strength between the core and northern margin over multimillennial timescales.

TL;DR: It is shown that remote atmospheric forcing by cold events in the northern high latitudes appears to have been the main driver of hydro-climatology in southeast Africa during rapid climate changes over the past 17,000 years.

TL;DR: This article reconstructed the history of eolian and fluvial sedimentation on the continental slope off Senegal during the past 57,000 years and found that abrupt onsets of arid conditions in the West African Sahel were linked to cold North Atlantic sea surface temperatures during times of reduced meridional overturning circulation associated with Heinrich Stadials.

TL;DR: It is shown that slowdowns of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation during Heinrich stadials and the Younger Dryas stadial affected the tropical Indian Ocean hydroclimate through changes to the Hadley circulation including a southward shift in the rising branch (the intertropical convergence zone) and an overall weakening over the southern Indian Ocean.

TL;DR: In this paper, simulations of oceanic radiocarbon for the last glacial maximum are presented, using a three-dimensional global ocean circulation model forced with glacial background states according to various reconstructions.
