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 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.

Modelled atmospheric temperatures and global sea levels over the past million years
TL;DR: A coupled model of the Northern Hemisphere ice sheets and ocean temperatures, forced to match an oxygen isotope record for the past million years compiled from 57 globally distributed sediment cores, finds that during extreme glacial stages, air temperatures were 17.8 °C lower than present, with a 120 ± 10 m sea level equivalent of continental ice present.
