High-resolution peat records for Holocene monsoon history

  <Summary>
    <Abstract>The variations of summer and winter monsoons during the Holocene 
in the eastern Tibetan Plateau are shown to follow two basic models 
based on the reliable dating and high-resolution monsoon proxies 
determinations, one being a synchronous model in that both summer 
and winter monsoons are strengthening or decreasing, and the other 
to form a complementary pattern. These two different patterns evenly 
interact with each other on different time scales and together compose 
a complicated monsoon climatic model in this region. The climatic 
condition integrated by winter and summer monsoons is synchronous 
to the global pattern, which also shows the instability of the 
Holocene climate on centennial- millennial timescale. The abrupt 
monsoon event in about 6.2 ka cal. BP is much more severe than 
that in ca. 8.0 ka cal. BP, which indicates the regional character 
of the Asian monsoon and that the Asian monsoon climate is indeed 
a window on the global climate system. 
 
          STUDY NOTES: Greyscale, Ash Content, and Humification data from a peat core 
collected at Hongyuan, northeastern Tibetan Plateau, providing 
Holocene paleomonsoon proxies. 

Hongyuan peat core: 
32°46.7&apos;N, 102°31&apos;E, 3527 m asl, 6.5 m core length.
