STUDY NOTES: Terrigenous grain size, mineral component and mass accumulation rate as proxies for East Asian monsoon winds in the northern South China Sea over the last million years. Keywords: East Asian monsoon winds, paleoclimate reconstruction, South China Sea, ODP Site 1144
ABSTRACT SUPPLIED BY ORIGINATOR: Glacial-to-interglacial variations in East Asian summer and winter monsoon are widely ascribed to orbital and global ice-sheet forcing. The relative impact of orbital and millennial-scale factors, however, remains controversial. To constrain the differential response of seasonal monsoon winds we present paired records of siliciclastic grain sizes, pollen, minerals, and geochemical tracers obtained from high-sedimentation rate deposits at ODP Site 1144, northern South China Sea. Accordingly, loess-style dust supply of winter monsoon was predominant and fluvial input reduced during peak glacials and Heinrich stadials over the last 900 kyr, while fluvial mud earmarked interglacials and initial parts of glacial stages since the Mid-Pleistocene Transition as result of enhanced summer monsoon. Before, more limited northern-Hemisphere ice sheets during glacial stages 24–32 led to ongoing humidity over Eastern Asia. Altogether, changes in seasonal monsoon rather reflect a redistribution of insolation energy among various climate subsystems than direct orbital and northern-ice-sheet forcing.
PurposeRecords of past climate and ocean circulation derived from marine sediments. Parameter keywords describe what was measured in this dataset. Additional summary information can be found in the abstracts of papers listed in the dataset citations.
