Based on TIMS U-series dating results and annual band counting method, an annual-resolution time scale from 17450 to 14420
aBP has been established for a stalagmite from the Hulu Cave at Tangshan, Nanjing. A high-resolution oxygen isotopic record
reveals decadral-centural oscillations in air temperature in the East Asian monsoon climate area during the last glacial maximum.
The most conspicuous feature in the oxygen isotopic record in the period is the particular cold event synchronized with the
last Heinrich event (H1) in the northern Atlantic deep-sea records. This particular cold event, beginning at 16140 ± 100 aBP,
shows a rapid cooling down with a magnitude of 7–8°C in air temperature within 36 years. Furthermore, δ18O record demonstrates that the event lasted 790 years with gradually warming tendency (10 cycles of air temperature oscillations)
after the remarkable cooling down. We believed that this unique pattern of event recorded in the stalagmite δ8O might be controlled by various factors including changes of insolation at mid-latitude Northern Hemisphere, the southern
extend of the last ice-rafted event in the North Atlantic and changes of the Equatorial Pacific sea surface temperature. 相似文献

Correlation between high-resolution climate records from a Nanjing stalagmite and GRIP ice core during the last glaciation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A 400-mm-long stalagmite from Tangshan Cave, Nanjing has been analyzed by a high-precision TIMS-U series dating method and
also determined for oxygen and carbon stable isotopic compositions. The results provided a high-resolution paleoclimate record
for eastern China during a time interval (from 54 000 to 19 000 aBP) of the last glaciation. The continuous record of oxygen-18
variations in the stalagmite, indicating a precipitation history of the East Asian monsoon, shows not only signals of the
Heinrich events, but also the Dansgaard-Oeschger cycles which are first found in the last glacial climate record of the East
Asian monsoon area. Although the stalagmite-based climatic signals match well with the GRIP ice core record, some differences
between the two records can be recognized: (1) The last glacial climate changes in eastern China exhibited a long-term remarkably
cooling trend, superimposed on which were four successive Bond’s cycles illustrated by the δ18O curve. This strong cooling tendency may be an effect of the strong summer monsoon event during the MIS 3 over the Tibetan
Plateau. (2) There exist some phase differences of 1000–2000 years between the cooling events in the stalagmite-based climate
signal and the GRIP ice core record. Such differences should be further verified by calibrations of multiple dating methods 相似文献

High-resolution climate variability of southwest China during 57-70 ka reflected in a stalagmite δ18O record from Xinya Cave 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A 26-cm-long stalagmite (XY2) from Xinya Cave in northeastern Chongqing of China has been ICP-MS 230Th/U dated, showing a depositional hiatus at 2.3 cm depth from the top. The growth of the 2.3–26 cm interval determined by
four dates was between 57 ka and 70 ka, with a linear growth rate of 0.023 mm/a. We have analyzed 190 samples for δ
18O and δ
13C, mostly in the 2.3–26 cm part. The δ
18O and δ
13C values between 57 ka and 70 ka reveal decadal-to-centennial climatic variability during the glacial interval of Marine Isotope
Stage 4 (MIS4), exhibiting much higher resolution than that of the published Hulu and Dongge records during this interval.
Speleothem δ
18O in eastern China, including our study area can be used as a proxy of summer monsoon strength, with lighter values pointing
to stronger summer monsoon and higher precipitation, and vice versa. Two decreases in the δ
18O signature of XY2 record around 59.5 and 64.5 Ka are argued to correspond to the Dansgaard-Oeschger (D-O) events 17 and 18
respectively. The Heinrich event 6 (H6) can be identified in the record as a heavy δ
18O peak around 60 ka, indicating significant weakening of the monsoon in Chongqing during the cold period. The XY2 δ
18O record shows very rapid change toward to the interstadial condition of the D-O event, but more gradual change toward to
the cold stadial condition. This phenomenon found in the Greenland ice core records is rarely observed so clearly in previously
published speleothem records. According to SPECMAP δ
18O record, the glacial maximum of MIS 4 was around 64.5 ka with the boundary of MIS 3/4 around 60 ka. Unlike the marine record,
the speleothem record of XY2, China, exhibits much high frequency variations without an apparent glacial maximum during MIS
4. However, the timing of MIS 3/4 boundary seems to be around 60 ka when the H6 terminated, in agreement with the marine chronology.
The growth period of sample XY2 during glacial times probably reflects a local karstic routing of water, rather than having
climatic significance.

δ18O of a stalagmite collected from Shihua Cave, 50 km southwest of Beijing is analyzed. The uppermost 2 cm was sampled at about
3-year intervals by a computer-controlled microsampling device. A total of 133 samples were analyzed, covering the last 480
years. A comparison of the δ18O record with the instrumentally recorded precipitation in Beijing and Tianjin back to 1840 AD shows that high precipitation
correlates with negative δ18O peaks. The long-term δ18O trend records temperature changes. Between 1620 and 1900 AD, the temperature was cooler than the average value for the 480-year
record, corresponding to the Little Ice Age. Temperatures warmer than the average prevailed during 1520–1620 and 1900—present.
Superimposed on the long-term trend are about 14 δ18O cycles of 30–40-year periodicity, with wet periods centered around 1985, 1955, 1910, 1880, 1840, 1800, 1760, 1730, 1690,
1660, 1630, 1600, 1560 and 1530 AD.

The high-resolution quantitative analysis of the planktonic foraminifera and the δ18O records of the section between 96.49– 137.6 mcd at ODP Site 1144 on the continental slope of northern South China Sea reveals
an abrupt cooling event of sea surface temperature (SST) during the last interglacial (MIS 5.5, i.e. 5e). The dropping range
of the winter SST may come to 7.5°C corresponding to 1.2‰ of the δ18O value of sea surface water. This event is comparable with those discovered in the west Europe and the northern Atlantic
Ocean, but expressed in a more intensive way. It is inferred that this event may have been induced by middle- to low-latitude
processes rather than by polar ice sheet change. Since the Kuroshio-index speciesPulleniatina obliquiloculata displayed the most distinct change at the event, it may also be related to the paleoceanographic change of the low-latitude
area in the western Pacific Ocean. This event can be considered as one of “Younger Dryas-style coolings” and is indicative
of climate variability of the last interglacial stage. 相似文献

A quick cooling event of the East Asian monsoon responding to Heinrich Event 1: Evidence from stalagmite δ18O records 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Based on TIMS U-series dating results and annual band counting method, an annual-resolution time scale from 17450 to 14420 aBP has been established for a stalagmite from the Hulu Cave at Tangshan, Nanjing. A high-resolution oxygen isotopic record reveals decadral-centural oscillations in air temperature in the East Asian monsoon climate area during the last glacial maximum. The most conspicuous feature in the oxygen isotopic record in the period is the particular cold event synchronized with the last Heinrich event (H1) in the northern Atlantic deep-sea records. This particular cold event, beginning at 16140 ( 100 aBP, shows a rapid cooling down with a magnitude of 7-8℃ in air temperature within 36 years. Furthermore, (6)18O record demonstrates that the event lasted 790 years with gradually warming tendency (10 cycles of air temperature oscillations) after the remarkable cooling down.

Seasonal variations of stable isotope in precipitation and moisture transport at Yushu,eastern Tibetan Plateau 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Precipitation δ 18O at Yushu, eastern Tibetan Plateau, shows strong fluctuation and lack of clear seasonality. The seasonal pattern of precipitation stable isotope at Yushu is apparently different from either that of the southwest monsoon region to the south or that of the inland region to the north. This different seasonal pattern probably reflects the shift of different moisture sources. In this paper, we present the spatial comparison of the seasonal patterns of precipitation δ 18O, and calculate the moisture transport flux by using the NCAR/NCEP reanalysis data. This allows us to discuss the relation between moisture transport flux and precipitation δ 18O. This study shows that both the southwest monsoon from south and inland air mass transport from north affected the seasonal precipitation δ 18O at Yushu, eastern Tibetan Plateau. Southwest monsoon brings the main part of the moisture, but southwest transport flux is weaker than in the southern part of the Tibetan Plateau. However, contribution of the inland moisture from north or local evaporation moisture is enhanced. The combined effect is the strong fluctuation of summer precipitation δ 18O at Yushu and comparatively poor seasonality. 相似文献

Quaternary biogenic opal records in the South China Sea: Linkages to East Asian monsoon, global ice volume and orbital forcing 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
WANG RuJian JIAN ZhiMin XIAO WenShen TIAN Jun LI JianRu CHEN RongHua ZHENG YuLong & CHEN JianFang State Key Laboratory of Marine Geology Tongji University Shanghai China The Key Laboratory of Submarine Geoscience State Oceanic Administration Hangzhou China 《中国科学D辑(英文版)》2007,50(5):710-724
Particulate fluxes investigated in the central South China Sea (SCS) during 1993―1996 indicate that opal flux can be used to show primary productivity change, which provides a foundation for tracing the evolutionary relationship between the surface productivity and East Asian monsoon in the SCS during the late Quaternary glacial and interglacial periods. Based on the studies of opal % and their mass accumulation rates (MAR) at the six sites recovered from the SCS during the “Resolution” ODP Leg 184 and “Sonne” 95 cruise of the Sino-Germany cooperation, opal % and their MARs increased evidently in the northern sites since 470―900 ka, and they enhanced and reduced, respectively, during the glacial and interglacial periods. Whereas they increased obviously in the southern sites since 420―450 ka, and they augmented and declined, respectively, during the interglacial and glacial periods. The vari- ability in opal % and their MARs in the late Quaternary glacial cyclicity indicate the “seesaw” pattern of surface productivity in the SCS. The winter monsoon intensified during the glacial periods, surface productivity increased and decreased, respectively, in the northern and southern SCS. The summer monsoon strengthened during the interglacial periods, surface productivity increased and decreased, respectively, in the southern and northern SCS. The cross spectral analyses between the opal % in the northern and southern SCS during the Quaternary and global ice volume (δ 18O) and orbital forcing (ETP) indicate that the East Asian winter and summer monsoons could be ascribed to the different drive mechanisms. On the orbital time scale, the global ice volume change could be a dominant factor for the winter monsoon intension and temporal variations. As compared with the winter monsoon, the correlative summer solar radiation with the obliquity and precession in the Northern Hemisphere could be a mostly controlling factor for the summer monsoon intension and temporal variations. 相似文献

Relations between oxygen stable isotopic ratios in precipitation and relevant meteorological factors in southwest China 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
ZHANG XinPing LIU JingMiao SUN WeiZheng HUANG YiMin & ZHANG JianMing College of Resources Environment Hunan Normal University Changsha China Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences Beijing China Cold Arid Regions Environmental Engineering Research Institute Lanzhou China 《中国科学D辑(英文版)》2007,50(4):571-581
The correlations of isotopic ratios in precipitation with temperature, air pressure and humidity at dif- ferent altitudes, in southwest China, are analyzed. There appear marked negative correlations for the δ 18O in precipitation with precipitation amount, vapor pressure and atmospheric precipitable water (PW) at Mengzi, Simao and Tengchong stations on synoptic timescale; the marked negative correlations between the δ 18O in precipitation and the diurnal mean temperature at 400 hPa, 500 hPa, 700 hPa and 850 hPa are different from the temperature effect in middle-high-latitude inland. Moreover, the notable positive correlation between the δ 18O in precipitation and the dew-point deficit △Td at different altitudes is found at the three stations. On annual timescale, the annual precipitation amount weighted mean δ 18O display the negative correlations not only with annual precipitation but also with annual mean temperature at 500 hPa. It can be deduced that, in the years with abnormally strong summer monsoon, more warm and wet air from low-latitude oceans is transported northward along the vapor channel located in southwest China and generates abnormally strong rainfall on the way. Meanwhile, the ab- normally strong condensation process will release more condensed latent heat into atmosphere, and lead to the rise of atmospheric temperature during rainfall, but decline of the δ 18O in precipitation. On the contrary, in the years with abnormally weak summer monsoon, the abnormally weak condensation process will release less condensed latent heat into atmosphere, and lead to the decline of atmos- pheric temperature during rainfall, but increase of the δ 18O in precipitation. 相似文献

Climatic variations in the past 140 ka recorded in core RM, east Qinghai-Xizang Plateau 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The sequences of climatic evolution are reconstructed by the analyses of δ13C and δ18O of carbonate from core RM in the Zoige Basin since 140 kaB. P. During the Last Glaciation there existed at least seven warm
climatic fluctuations and five cold events correlated with the records of ice core and deep sea, and during the preceding
last interglacial period there were two cold climatic variations coinciding with the record of ice core GRIP. These results
de-pict climatic instability in east Qinghai-Xizang Plateau over the last interglacial period. In addition, the environmental
proxies of the carbonate content and pigments indicate the similar results to the stable isotope record from core RM.

A new oxygen isotope record is reported from a stalagmite collected in the Argentarola Cave located on the Tyrrhenian coast of Italy. As shown from observations and numerical modeling of δ18O in modern precipitation, the recorded δ18O variability for this zone is dominated by the amount of precipitation (so-called ‘amount effect’). The δ18O profile measured in the stalagmite is characterized by a prominent negative excursion (ca. 2-3‰) between 180 and 170 kyr BP. This paleoclimatic feature is interpreted as being due to a relatively wet period which occurred during the penultimate glacial period, more precisely, during Marine Isotope Stage 6.5. This pluvial phase is shown to correspond chronologically to the deposition of the sapropel event 6 (S6). Although this particular sapropel event occurred during a cold phase, the δ18O excursion is similar to those corresponding to other sapropels (S4, S3 and S2). The evidence for humid conditions during S6 in the western Mediterranean basin agrees with previous studies based on deep-sea sediment cores. Taken collectively, the data suggest that during sapropel events dilution of ocean surface waters was not restricted to the output of the river Nile but was rather widespread over the entire Mediterranean Sea due to increased rainfall. 相似文献

High resolution δ18O and methane records over the last 2ka have been reconstructed from Dasuopu ice core recovered from the Himalayas. Analysis
shows that the δ18O record correlates well with the Northern Hemispheric temperature, Dunde ice core record, and with temperature record in
eastern China. The warming trend detected in δ18O record from the last century is similar to that during the Medieval warm period. There is a dramatic increasing in methane
concentration in the Dasuopu ice core, which reached 1031 nmol ⋅ mol-1 in 1997. Moreover, methane concentration in the Dasuopu ice core is about 15%-20% higher than that in Antarctica and Greenland.
There is a positive correlation between methane concentration and δ18O in Dasuopu ice core. 相似文献

The δ 18O variations in an 80.36 m ice core retrieved in the accumulation zone of the East Rongbuk Glacier, Mount Qomolangma (Everest),
is not consistent with changes of air temperature from both southern and northern slopes of Himalayas, as well as these of
the temperature anomalies over the Northern Hemisphere. The negative relationship between the δ 18O and the net accumulation records of the ice core suggests the “amount effect” of summer precipitation on the δ 18O values in the region. Therefore, the δ 18O records of the East Rongbuk ice core should be a proxy of Indian Summer Monsoon intensity, which shows lower δ 18O values during strong monsoon phases and higher values during weak phases. 相似文献

Climatic and environmental changes over the last millennium recorded in the Malan ice core from the northern Tibetan Plateau 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

In this paper, climatic and environmental changes were reconstructed since 1129A.D. based on the Malan ice core from Hol Xil, the northern Tibetan Plateau. The record of δ 18O in the Malan ice core indicated that the warm-season air temperature variations displayed a general increase trend, the 20th-century warming was within the range of natural climate variability, and the warmest century was the 17th century while the warmest decade was the 1610s, over the entire study period. The “Medieval Warm Epoch” and “Little Ice Age” were also reflected by the ice core record. The dust ratio in the Malan ice core is a good proxy for dust event frequency. The 870-year record of the dust ratio showed that dust events occurred much frequently in the 19th century. Comparing the variations of δ 18O and the dust ratio, it is found that there was a strong negative correlation between them on the time scales of 101―102 years. By analyses of all the climatic records of ice cores and tree rings from the northern Tibetan Plateau, it was revealed that dust events were more frequent in the cold and dry periods than in the warm and wet periods. 相似文献

A stalagmite-based isotope record (No. H82) from Nanjing Hulu Cave, spanning from 16.5 to 10.3 ka BP, provided strong evidence for a coherence relation between the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) and the North Atlantic climates on millennial time scales. Here we extend the high-resolution δ 18O time series back to 22.1 ka BP with additional 7 230Th dates and 573 stable isotope measurements on the lower part of that sample.

A high-resolution climate record from 163.00 kaBP to 113.80 kaBP has been obtained through TIMS-U series dating and carbon
and oxygen isotope analysis of the three large stalagmites from two caves in the south of Guizhou Province, China. The record
of the oxygen isotopes from the stalagmites reveals that the undulation characteristics between the cooling event of the glacial
period and the warming event of the interglacial period in the research area can compare well to those of ice cores, lake
sediments, loess and deep sea sediments on the scale of ten-thousand years or millennium time scale. The climate undulation
provided by the record of the stalagmites has a coherence with the global changes and a tele-connection to the paleoclimate
changes in the north polar region. Our results suggest that the direct dynamics of paleo-monsoon circulation changes reflected
in the record of the stalagmites might be caused by changes of the global ice volume, and in turn related to various factors,
including the solar radiation strength at the mid-latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere, the southern extension of the ice-rafted
event in the North Atlantic, and changes of the equatorial Pacific sea surface temperature at the low-latitudes. Using °18O values, we have calculated the temperatures and the results show that the temperature difference between the penultimate
glacial period (with an average temperature of 8.1°C, and a minimum temperature range from 0.65°C to-1.43°C at stage 6) and
the last interglacial period (with an average temperature of 18.24°C at sub-stage 5e) was about 10°C. This temperature difference
from the record of the stalagmites corresponds in general to the record temperature variation (about 10°C) of measured ice
cores. The climate records from the three stalagmites in the two caves have shown that the circulation strength of the Asian
summer monsoon and the winter monsoon in the penultimate glacial period and the last inter-glacial period had a clear change.
With the TIMS-U series method, termination II of the penultimate glacial period has been precisely dated at an age of (129.28±
1.10) kaBP for the three stalagmites in the south of Guizhou Province, China. This borderline age represents the beginning
of the last interglacial period or the boundary between the Middle Pleistocene and the Late Pleistocene, and corresponds to
the beginning age of the last interglacial period shown by the ice cores and in the SPECMAP curve of the marine oxygen isotopes.
The chronology determination of termination II is not only of stratigraphic and chronological significance, but also lays
an important foundation for discussing the short time scales of climate oscillation and rapidly changing events of paleoclimate
in the circulation region of the East Asian monsoon. 相似文献

Based on 23 U/Th analyses and 532 oxygen isotopic data, an averaged 80-a stalagmite oxygen isotopic composition series was
established through 95 to 56 thousand years before present (ka BP) from two speleothems in Shanbao Cave, Shennongjia, central
China. Shanbao Cave record (referred to as SB record) replicates well with Hulu Cave record, extending the characteristics
of millennial oscillations in East-Asian-Summer-Monsoon (EASM) to the past 95 ka. The trend of the SB record generally follows
mid-July solar insolation at 65°N, suggesting that mid-high northern latitude insolation, in the first order, controls changes
of EASM intensity. Millennial oscillations of EASM recorded in the stalagmites are well related to the Greenland interstadials
referred to as Dansgaard/Oeschger (D/O) events from 1 to 22, indicating that rapid ocean-atmosphere reorganization in North
Atlantic has a remote effect in EASM. The well-dated D/O events by stalagmites probably provide an absolute calibration for
chronologies of Greenland ice cores. The timings of D/O events in the SB record are different variously from those in Greenland
ice cores. For D/O 19 and 20, the age offsets between the stalagmites’ and the Greenland ice cores’ record are significant,
larger than the uncertainties of uranium-series dating. The two events in the SB record are younger than those in North GRIP
time scale by 1–2 ka, and older than the counterparts in GISP2 by approximately 3–4 ka. A comparison between the SB and Brazil
stalagmite record shows an anti-phase relation in millennial-scale monsoon precipitation between the two localities. This
supports a mode for the coupled ocean-atmosphere “See-saw”.

The 213 m ice core from the Puruogangri Ice Field on the Tibetan Plateau facilitates the study of the regional temperature
changes with its δ
18O record of the past 100 years. Here we combine information from this core with that from the Dasuopu ice core (from the southern
Tibetan Plateau), the Guliya ice core (from the northwestern Plateau) and the Dunde ice core (from the north-eastern Plateau)
to learn about the regional differences in temperature change across the Tibetan Plateau. The δ
18O changes vary with region on the Plateau, the variations being especially large between South and North and between East
and West. Moreover, these four ice cores present increasing δ
18O trends, indicating warming on the Tibetan Plateau over the past 100 years. A comparative study of Northern Hemisphere (NH)
temperature changes, the δ
18O-reflected temperature changes on the Plateau, and available meteorological records show consistent trends in overall warming
during the past 100 years. 相似文献

Oxygen stable isotope of atmospheric water vapor is widely used to study the modern process of climate. Atmospheric water
vapor samples were collected at Dlingha, northeast of Tibetan Plateau during the period from July 2005 to February 2006. The
variation of δ
18O and the relationships between δ
18O and both the temperature and specific humidity are analyzed in this paper. Results show that the seasonal variation of δ
18O of atmospheric water vapor at Delingha is remarkable with higher δ
18O in summer and lower δ
18O in winter. The temporal variation of vapor δ
18O shows obvious fluctuations, with magnitude of over 37‰ The daily variation of the δ
18O is highly correlated with air temperature. The relationship between δ
18O and atmospheric water vapor content is complex. Study shows that δ
18O of atmospheric water vapor is positively correlated with specific humidity in winter in seasonal scale and inversely correlated
with specific humidity in summer rainy period. The δ
18O values of atmospheric water vapor are lower than those of precipitation at Delingha, and the average difference is 10.7‰
Variations of δ
18O of atmospheric water vapor is also found to be affected by precipitation events, The model results show that the precipitation
effect could have caused the vapor δ
18O in the raining season to lower by 7% in average in July and August.
