Records of past temperature, precipitation, and other aspects of climate derived from mineral deposits found in caves. Parameter keywords describe what was measured in this data set. Additional summary information can be found in the abstracts of papers listed in the data set citations.
STUDY NOTES: DESCRIPTION:
Stalagmite D4 was collected 500 m from the entrance and ~100 m below
the surface in Dongge Cave, southern China (25°17N, 108°5E, elevation=680 m).
Its total length is 304 cm and its diameter ranges between 12 and 20 cm.
Most (~80%) of the rainfall in the region surrounding Dongge Cave occurs
during the summer monsoon months (May–Oct). Rainwater collected at Guiyang, ~160 km northwest of Dongge Cave, has oxygen isotope ratios (VSMOW) which range between -3.4 per mil in the winter and -12.4 per mil in the summer.
The Dongge Cave isotope record is therefore a proxy for Asian Monsoon intensity.
