TL;DR: A high-resolution oxygen isotope record of a U/Th-dated stalagmite from subtropical southern Brazil, covering the past 116,200 years, finds that variations in rainfall source and amount are primarily driven by summer solar radiation, which is controlled by the Earth's precessional cycle.

Monitoring the transport of biomass burning emissions in South America
Saulo R. Freitas,Karla Longo,Maria Assunção Faus da Silva Dias,Pedro Leite da Silva Dias,Robert B. Chatfield,E. M. Prins,Paulo Artaxo,Georg Grell,Fernando S. Recuero +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the atmospheric transport of biomass burning emissions in the South American and African continents is monitored annually using a numerical simulation of air mass motions; they use a tracer transport capability developed within RAMS (Regional Atmospheric Modeling System) coupled to an emission model.
