A high-resolution millennial record of the South Asian Monsoon 
from Himalayan ice cores.

  <Summary>
    <Abstract>A high-resolution ice core record from Dasuopu, Tibet, reveals 
that this site is sensitive to fluctuations in the intensity 
of the South Asian Monsoon. Reductions in monsoonal intensity 
are recorded by dust and chloride concentrations.  The deeper, 
older sections of the Dasuopu cores suggest many other periods 
of drought in this region, but none have been of greater intensity 
than the greatest recorded drought, during 1790 to 1796 A.D. 
of the last millennium. The 20th century increase in anthropogenic 
activity in India and Nepal, upwind from this site, is recorded 
by a doubling of chloride concentrations and a fourfold increase 
in dust. Like other ice cores from the Tibetan Plateau, Dasuopu 
suggests a large-scale, plateau-wide 20th-century warming trend 
that appears to be amplifed at higher elevations. 
 
          STUDY NOTES: Dasuopu ice core oxygen isotopes, dust, major anions (chloride, 
nitrate, sulfate) and accumulation: annual averages from 1450-1996 
A.D., and decadal averages of oxygen isotopes, dust and major anions 
from 1000-1996 A.D. </Abstract>
