Temperature response in the Altai region lags solar forcing.

  <Summary>
    <Abstract>The role of the sun on Earth&apos;s climate variability is still 
much debated. Here we present an ice core oxygen isotope 
record from the continental Siberian Altai, serving as a 
high-resolution temperature proxy for the last 750 years. 
The strong correlation between reconstructed temperature 
and solar activity suggests solar forcing as a main driver 
for temperature variations during the period 1250-1850 
in this region. The precisely dated record allowed for 
the identification of a 10-30 year lag between solar forcing 
and temperature response, underlining the importance of 
indirect sun-climate mechanisms involving ocean-induced 
changes in atmospheric circulation. Solar contribution 
to temperature change became less important during 
industrial period 1850-2000 in the Altai region. 
 
          STUDY NOTES: Ice core oxygen isotope data (d18O) and March-November temperature 
reconstruction for the Altai region of Siberia over the past 750 years. 

Marc-November temperatures in the Altai region were reconstructed 
using d18O measurements from a Belukha ice core in the Siberian Altai. 
Dating uncertainties are &lt;3 years (AD 1815-1980), &lt;5 years 
(AD 1400-1815), and &lt;10 years (AD 1250-1400). 

Calibration was performed for the period 1850-1980 based on 
10-year means, using temperature data from the weather station Barnaul. </Abstract>
