South China Sea hydrological changes and Pacific Walker Circulation 
variations over the last millennium. 
Nature Communications, 2:293  DOI: 10.1038/ncomms1297 </Reference>
  <Summary>
    <Abstract>The relative importance of north-south migrations of the 
intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) versus El Niño-Southern 
Oscillation and its associated Pacific Walker Circulation (PWC) 
variability for past hydrological change in the western tropical 
Pacific is unclear. Here we show that north-south ITCZ migration 
was not the only mechanism of tropical Pacific hydrologic 
variability during the last millennium, and that PWC variability 
profoundly influenced tropical Pacific hydrology.  We present 
hydrological reconstructions from Cattle Pond, Dongdao Island 
of the South China Sea, where multi-decadal rainfall and downcore 
grain size variations are correlated to the Southern Oscillation 
Index during the instrumental era. Our downcore grain size 
reconstructions indicate that this site received less precipitation 
during relatively warm periods, AD 1000-1400 and AD 1850-2000, 
compared with the cool period (AD 1400-1850). Including our new 
reconstructions in a synthesis of tropical Pacific records results 
in a spatial pattern of hydrologic variability that implicates 
the PWC.

data from 3 cores collected in Cattle Pond, Dongdao Island, South 
China Sea, covering the last 1000 years. </Abstract>
