Summary: The Asian monsoon is an important component of the global climate system.
Seasonal variations in wind, rainfall, and temperature associated with the
Asian monsoon systems affect a vast expanse of tropical and subtropical Asia.
Speleothem-derived summer monsoon variation in East Asia was previously found
to be closely associated with millennial-scale change in temperature in the
North Atlantic region between 75 and 10 ka. New evidence recovered from
East Asia, however, suggests that the teleconnection between summer monsoon
in East Asia and temperature change in the North Atlantic region may have
significantly reduced during 120 to ~ 110 ka, a period directly after the
full last interglaciation and corresponding roughly to marine oxygen isotope
stage 5d. This reduction may be due to the low ice volume in the North
Hemisphere at that time, which makes the millennial-scale change in
temperature in the North Atlantic region less effective in influencing
the Asian summer monsoon. This is important for investigating the mechanisms
controlling the Asian summer monsoon and the paleoclimatic teleconnection
between East Asia and the North Atlantic region, and for predicting monsoon-
associated precipitation in East Asia under a global-warming trend.
