TLDR
In this article, high-resolution oxygen isotope (δ18O) profiles of Holocene stalagmites from four caves in Northern and Southern Oman and Yemen (Socotra) provide detailed information on fluctuations in precipitation along a latitudinal transect from 12°N to 23°N.About:

Fahu Chen,Zicheng Yu,Zicheng Yu,Meilin Yang,Emi Ito,Sumin Wang,David B. Madsen,Xiaozhong Huang,Yan Zhao,Tomonori Sato,H. John B. Birks,H. John B. Birks,Ian Boomer,Jianhui Chen,Chengbang An,Bernd Wünnemann +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize palaeoclimate records from the mid-latitude arid Asian region dominated today by the Westerlies ("arid central Asia" (ACA)) to evaluate spatial and temporal patterns of moisture changes during the Holocene.

Migrations and dynamics of the intertropical convergence zone
TL;DR: An emerging framework links the intertropical convergence zone to the atmospheric energy balance and may account for ITCZ variations on timescales from years to geological epochs.

Ice age terminations.
Hai Cheng,R. Lawrence Edwards,Wallace S. Broecker,George H. Denton,Xinggong Kong,Yongjin Wang,Rong Zhang,Xianfeng Wang +7 more
TL;DR: Variability of the Asian Monsoon over the past 400,000 years correlates with the ends of glacial periods, and AM records for the past four glacial terminations can be precisely correlated with those from ice cores and marine sediments, establishing the timing and sequence of major events.

Structure and origin of Holocene cold events

TL;DR: In this article, a Holocene Climate Atlas (HOCLAT) is presented based on carefully selected 10,000-year-long time series of temperature and humidity/precipitation, as well as reconstructions of glacier advances.

Formal subdivision of the Holocene Series/Epoch: a Discussion Paper by a Working Group of INTIMATE (Integration of ice‐core, marine and terrestrial records) and the Subcommission on Quaternary Stratigraphy (International Commission on Stratigraphy)

TL;DR: This article proposed an Early-Middle Holocene Boundary at 8200 a BP and a Middle-Late Holocene boundary at 4200 aBP, each of which is linked to a Global Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) to ensure consistency in stratigraphic terminology.

Stable isotopes in precipitation
TL;DR: In this paper, the isotopic fractionation of water in simple condensation-evaporation processes is considered quantitatively on the basis of the fractionation factors given in section 1.2.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a detailed stable isotope record for the full length of the Greenland Ice-core Project Summit ice core, extending over the past 250 kyr according to a calculated timescale, and find that climate instability was not confined to the last glaciation, but appears also have been marked during the last interglacial (as explored more fully in a companion paper), and during the previous Saale-Holstein glacial cycle.

Insolation values for the climate of the last 10 million years
André Berger,Marie-France Loutre +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, new values for the astronomical parameters of the Earth's orbit and rotation (eccentricity, obliquity and precession) are proposed for paleoclimatic research related to the Late Miocene, the Pliocene and the Quaternary.

A High-Resolution Absolute-Dated Late Pleistocene Monsoon Record from Hulu Cave, China
Yongjin Wang,Yongjin Wang,Hai Cheng,Richard Lawrence Edwards,Zhisheng An,Jiangying Wu,Chuan-Chou Shen,Jeffrey A. Dorale +7 more
TL;DR: The record links North Atlantic climate with the meridional transport of heat and moisture from the warmest part of the ocean where the summer East Asian Monsoon originates and generally agrees with the timing of temperature changes from the Greenland Ice Sheet Project Two (GISP2).
