TLDR
It is found that the records close to the monsoon moisture source show large glacial-interglacial variability, which then decreases landward, the moisture transport pathway effect, which counteracts the forcing of glacial boundary conditions.Abstract:
While Asian monsoon (AM) changes have been clearly captured in Chinese speleothem oxygen isotope (δ18O) records, the lack of glacial-interglacial variability in the records remains puzzling. Here, we report speleothem δ18O records from three locations along the trajectory of the Indian summer monsoon (ISM), a major branch of the AM, and characterize AM rainfall over the past 180,000 years. We have found that the records close to the monsoon moisture source show large glacial-interglacial variability, which then decreases landward. These changes likely reflect a stronger oxygen isotope fractionation associated with progressive rainout of AM moisture during glacial periods, possibly due to a larger temperature gradient and suppressed plant transpiration. We term this effect, which counteracts the forcing of glacial boundary conditions, the moisture transport pathway effect.read more

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present new pollen data and mean annual temperature reconstruction from the annually laminated sediments of Lake Suigetsu, Japan, which is an integral component of the IntCal20 radiocarbon calibration model, in which the absolute age scale is established to the highest standard.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a high-resolution EASM precipitation record reconstructed from the loess redness in North China over the past 720 kyr, showing that the average precipitation for interglacials is 420mm/yr, higher than present (~280 mm/yr).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantitatively deconvolve these parameters affecting δ18OCc by applying three geochemical techniques in speleothems covering the penultimate glacial termination, and reveal that the different modes of the AMOC produced distinct impacts on the monsoon system.

Contrasting the Indian and East Asian monsoons: implications on geologic timescales
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the impacts of "internal" and "external" forcing of monsoon system by contrasting the annual cycle and interannual variability of two subsystems: the monsoon over the Indian sector (40^105/E) and over the East Asian sector (105^ 160/E).

The effect of eurasian snow cover on global climate
TL;DR: Numerical simulations with a global atmospheric circulation model suggest that largescale variations in the amount of snowfall over Eurasia in the springtime are linked to the subsequent strength of the Asian summer monsoon, challenging the current dogma that the ENSO phenomenon is solely the result of close coupling between the atmosphere and ocean.
