Ancient climate records reveal how East Asian monsoon shifted abruptly into cold and drought
How does climate change affect the East Asian monsoon? Researchers from Utrecht University's Faculty of Geosciences, together with colleagues at research institutes in China and Belgium, are investigating this question by looking back 250,000 years. They found that, over long timescales, the monsoon system tracks changes in incoming solar radiation caused by variations in Earth's orbit and tilt. But when radiation falls below a certain threshold…
The East Asian summer monsoon supplies large parts of Asia with rain. A reconstruction from the Chinese Lössplateau shows five phases for the past 250,000 years, in which pronounced coldness and drought coincided. Climate simulations indicate that a threshold in summer solar radiation could have favored such long-term climate leaps. Utrecht (Netherlands). The East Asian summer monsoon brings in summer [...] The post East Asia's monsoon climate r…
