Abstract

Abstract

Due to the paucity of the high-resolution records of the Asian summer monsoon (ASM) during the marine isotope stage (MIS) 5, our understanding about the ASM in this period is limited. In this study, a 38-yr resolution stalagmite oxygen isotope record from the Yangkou Cave, Chongqing, southwestern China, is used to reconstruct the detailed evolution of the ASM during the period of MIS 5a/5b. The Yangkou record exhibits a close correlation between the ASM and the climate of the North Atlantic at a centennial-millennial-scale. In terms of the precise 230Th dating with error less than 0.4%, the onset and termination of Chinese Interstadial (CIS) 22 are constrained to 91.2±0.3 ka BP and 88.9±0.3 ka BP, respectively, and the beginning of the CIS 21 is defined at 84.6±0.3 ka BP. In addition, the evolution pattern of CIS 22 and CIS 21 recorded in the stalagmite from the Yangkou Cave is slightly different from those recorded in NGRIP,which is anti-phased with the trend of temperature change in the Antarctica. We speculate that the ASM during MIS 5a/5b may be affected by climate variation in the southern hemisphere.
- Asian summer monsoon,
- stalagmite δ18O,
- marine isotope stage 5a/5b,
- 230Th dating,
- climate change in the southern hemisphere
