TLDR
Climatic conditions from a 150kyr oxygen isotope-pollen record from the Arabian Sea were deduced from the record in this article, where the conditions were derived from a geodesic map of the world.Abstract:

Climatic changes of the last 18,000 years: observations and model simulations
TL;DR: In this article, changes in solar radiation arising from changes in the orientation of the earth's axis had pronounced effects on tropical monsoons and mid-latitude climates as well as on ice-sheet configuration.

Monsoon variability over the past 150,000 years
Warren L. Prell,John E. Kutzbach +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used 13 general circulation model (NCAR) community climate model (CCM) simulations that incorporate a large range of solar radiation and surface (modern to full glacial) boundary conditions.

Sensitivity of the Indian monsoon to forcing parameters and implications for its evolution
Warren L. Prell,John E. Kutzbach +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a general-circulation model was used to estimate the sensitivity of the Indian monsoon to changes in orbital parameters, the orography of Tibet-Himalaya, atmospheric C02 concentration and the extent of glacialage surface boundary conditions.

African monsoons, an immediate climate response to orbital insolation
TL;DR: In this paper, the Croll-Milankovitch astronomical theory of climate has received strong support from the evidence of a linear climatic forcing by obliquity and precession, although nonlinearity had to be assumed for eccentricity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mediterranean Quaternary sapropels, an immediate response of the african monsoon to variation of insolation
TL;DR: In the subsurface of the East Mediterranean Sea, eleven discrete basin-wide, organic-rich, black sapropels were deposited during the last 465 000 years as discussed by the authors.

Oxygen isotope and palaeomagnetic stratigraphy of Equatorial Pacific core V28-238: Oxygen isotope temperatures and ice volumes on a 105 year and 106 year scale☆
TL;DR: The core Vema 28-238 as discussed by the authors preserves an excellent oxygen isotope and magnetic stratigraphy and is shown to contain undisturbed sediments deposited continuously through the past 870,000 yr.

Long-term variations of caloric insolation resulting from the Earth's orbital elements
TL;DR: In this paper, a contribution to a global a priori model of climatic changes for the Quaternary Ice Age is tentatively proposed, which includes terms dependent to the second degree on disturbing masses, to third degree on planetary eccentricities and inclinations and, for the obliquity and the annual general precession in longitude, also to earth's eccentricity.

After the deluge: Mediterranean stagnation and sapropel formation
TL;DR: In an East Mediterranean marine core, the upper sapropel begins soon after the start of a global event, a very heavy precipitation which occurred in the equatorial latitudes during the late Glacial-early Holocene as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiocarbon dating of East african lake levels.
TL;DR: The fluctuations of the key East African lakes discussed are summarized and a notable lack of correlations between high-latitude glacial advances or maxima and intervals of high lake levels have been demonstrated or suggested for tropical Africa, shows the introduction of new climato-stratigraphic terms such as hypothermal and interstadial of questionable value.

Deglacial warming of the northeastern Atlantic ocean: correlation with the paleoclimatic evolution of the european continent
TL;DR: Isotopic, micropaleontologic and pollen analyses of deep-sea cores from the Bay of Biscay and the northeastern Atlantic Ocean show that the deglacial warming of this oceanic area was closely correlated with the paleoclimatic evolution of the adjacent European continent.
