Sensitive moisture response to Holocene millennial-scale climate variations in the Mid-Atlantic region, USA
Millennial-scale climate variability has been increasingly recognized as one of the most prominent features of the Holocene. However, regional responses, especially in terms of moisture conditions, are poorly documented and understood. Here we present lithologic and magnetic evidence from White Lake in northern New Jersey, USA, to show that low lake levels occurred at about 1.3, 3.0, 4.4 and 6....
متن کاملHindcasting the Continuum of Dansgaard-Oeschger variability: Mechanisms, Patterns and Timing
Millennial-scale variability associated with Dansgaard-Oeschger events is arguably one of the most puzzling climate phenomena ever discovered in paleoclimate archives. Here, we set out to elucidate the underlying dynamics by conducting a transient global hindcast simulation with a 3-dimensional intermediate complexity Earth system model 5 covering the period 50 ka B.P. to 30 ka B.P. The model i...
متن کاملLaurentide Ice Sheet meltwater and abrupt climate change during the last glaciation
[1] A leading hypothesis to explain abrupt climate change during the last glacial cycle calls on fluctuations in the margin of the North American Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS), which may have routed fresh water between the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) and the North Atlantic, affecting North Atlantic Deep Water variability and regional climate. Paired measurements of dO and Mg/Ca of foraminiferal calcite f...
متن کاملInterplay between the Westerlies and Asian monsoon recorded in Lake Qinghai sediments since 32 ka
Two atmospheric circulation systems, the mid-latitude Westerlies and the Asian summer monsoon (ASM), play key roles in northern-hemisphere climatic changes. However, the variability of the Westerlies in Asia and their relationship to the ASM remain unclear. Here, we present the longest and highest-resolution drill core from Lake Qinghai on the northeastern Tibetan Plateau (TP), which uniquely r...
متن کاملNorth Atlantic forcing of moisture delivery to Europe throughout the Holocene.
Century-to-millennial scale fluctuations in precipitation and temperature are an established feature of European Holocene climates. Changes in moisture delivery are driven by complex interactions between ocean moisture sources and atmospheric circulation modes, making it difficult to resolve the drivers behind millennial scale variability in European precipitation. Here, we present two overlapp...
