Everest ice core reveals a decrease in marine and increase in continental air masses related to relatively high summer surface pressure over Mongolia, and reduction in northward incursions of the summer South Asian monsoon since ~1400 AD. Previously published proxy records from lower sites south of the Himalayas indicate strengthening of the monsoon since this time. These regional differences are consistent with a south–north seesaw in convective activity in the Asian monsoon region, and reflect a southward shift in the mean summer position of the monsoon trough since~1400 AD. The change in monsoonal circulation at 1400 AD is synchronous with a reduction in solar irradiance and the onset of the LIA. This demonstrates a hemispheric scale circulation reorganization at this time, and the potential for future large shifts in monsoonal circulation. # -------------------- # Authors: Anderson, D.M., Tardif, R., Horlick, K., Erb, M.P., Hakim, G.J., Noone, D., Perkins, W.A., and E.

We describe additions to a collection prepared for use in paleoclimate state estimation, specifically the Last Millennium Reanalysis (LMR). The 2290 additional series include 2152 tree ring chronologies and 138 other series. They supplement the collection used previously and together form a database titled LMRdb 1.0.0. The additional data draws from lake core, ice core, coral, speleothem, and tree ring archives, using published data primarily from the NOAA Paleoclimatology archive and a set of tree ring width chronologies standardized from raw International Tree Ring Data Bank ring width series. In contrast to many previous paleo compilations, the data were not selected (screened) on the basis of their environmental correlation, multi-century length, or other attributes. The inclusion of proxies sensitive to moisture and other environmental variables expands their use in data assimilation. A preliminary calibration using linear regression with mean annual temperature reveals characteristics of the proxy series and their relationship to temperature, as well as the noise and error characteristics of the records. The additional records are structured as individual files in the NOAA Paleoclimatology format and archived at NOAA Paleoclimatology (Anderson et al. 2018) and will continue to be improved and expanded as part of the LMR Project. The additions represent a four-fold increase in the number of records available for assimilation, provide expanded geographic coverage, and add additional proxy variables. Applications include data assimilation, proxy system model development, and paleoclimate reconstruction using climate field reconstruction and other methods. #------------------ # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: United States National Science Foundation # Grant: ATM 0139491 # -------------------- # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration # Grant: NOAA NA05OAR4311109 # -------------------- # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: National Natural Science Foundation of China # Grant: 90411003 # -------------------- # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: National Natural Science Foundation of China # Grant: 40401054 # --------------------- #Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: Chinese Academy of Sciences # Grant: KZCX3-SW-339/344 # -------------------- # Funding_Agency_Name: National Science Foundation # Grant:AGS-1304263 # Funding_Agency_Name: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration # Grant:NA14OAR4310176 #------------------ # Site_Information # Site_Name: East Rongbuk Glacier # Location: Asia>China # Country: China # Northernmost_Latitude: 27.98 # Southernmost_Latitude: 27.98 # Easternmost_Longitude: 86.92 # Westernmost_Longitude: 86.92 # Elevation: 6500 m # -------------------- # Data_Collection # Collection_Name: 07Rong01 # Earliest_Year: 997.5 # Most_Recent_Year: 1997.5 # Time_Unit: y_ad # # -------------------- # Variables # # Data variables follow that are preceded by "##" in columns one and two. # Data line variables format: Variables list, one per line, shortname-tab-longname-tab-longname components (9 components: what, material, error, units, seasonality, archive, detail, method, C or N for Character or Numeric data) # ##age age,,,years AD,,,,,N ##delD delta deuterium,,,permil SMOW,,Ice Cores,,,N # # -------------------- # Data: # Data lines follow (have no #) # Data line format - tab-delimited text, variable short name as header # Missing values: NAN # age delD 1997.5 -120.4 1992.5 -120.67 1987.5 -143.54 1982.5 -135.16 1977.5 -118.04 1972.5 -124.04 1967.5 -125.69 1962.5 -112.68 1957.5 -128.87 1952.5 -125.5 1947.5 -117.4 1942.5 -120.19 1937.5 -104.35 1932.5 -112.83 1927.5 -116.26 1922.5 -124.62 1917.5 -131.87 1912.5 -130.87 1907.5 -131.84 1902.5 -114.78 1897.5 -136.36 1892.5 -137.58 1887.5 -114.7 1882.5 -117 1877.5 -124.39 1872.5 -122.59 1867.5 -124.19 1862.5 -134.18 1857.5 -145.86 1852.5 -131.43 1847.5 -143.63 1842.5 -127.13 1837.5 -126.41 1832.5 -126.37 1827.5 -138.22 1822.5 -139.48 1817.5 -137.65 1812.5 -144.91 1807.5 -154.4 1802.5 -146.49 1797.5 -165.72 1792.5 -140.46 1787.5 -146.01 1782.5 -148.43 1777.5 -154.12 1772.5 -134.41 1767.5 -129.69 1762.5 -129.84 1757.5 -147.18 1752.5 -145.36 1747.5 -134.27 1742.5 -146.85 1737.5 -141.05 1732.5 -137.53 1727.5 -133.67 1722.5 -141.29 1717.5 -133.8 1712.5 -147.72 1707.5 -137.34 1702.5 -131.03 1697.5 -140.12 1692.5 -143.3 1687.5 -146.99 1682.5 -150.88 1677.5 -145.32 1672.5 -146.88 1667.5 -137.81 1662.5 -137.76 1657.5 -143.62 1652.5 -133.04 1647.5 -126.33 1642.5 -137.51 1637.5 -131.65 1632.5 -139.1 1627.5 -129.64 1622.5 -138.1 1617.5 -132.48 1612.5 -130.37 1607.5 -131.44 1602.5 -126.05 1597.5 -147.79 1592.5 -126.95 1587.5 -133.76 1582.5 -133.51 1577.5 -127.86 1572.5 -129.02 1567.5 -125.01 1562.5 -116.61 1557.5 -124.29 1552.5 -128.59 1547.5 -134.87 1542.5 -124.56 1537.5 -123.32 1532.5 -131.66 1527.5 -141.31 1522.5 -129.7 1517.5 -132.27 1512.5 -137.5 1507.5 -133.17 1502.5 -129.7 1497.5 -129.03 1492.5 -128.6 1487.5 -130.82 1482.5 -119.96 1477.5 -126.52 1472.5 -144.7 1467.5 -132.28 1462.5 -134.83 1457.5 -138.49 1452.5 -130.69 1447.5 -113.1 1442.5 -130.64 1437.5 -133.19 1432.5 -137.68 1427.5 -135.75 1422.5 -125.6 1417.5 -142.17 1412.5 -131.51 1407.5 -137.58 1402.5 -138.66 1397.5 -132.55 1392.5 -133.55 1387.5 -138.92 1382.5 -129.5 1377.5 -134.07 1372.5 -132.55 1367.5 -137.89 1362.5 -132.52 1357.5 -136.86 1352.5 -130.86 1347.5 -125.11 1342.5 -129.2 1337.5 -141.09 1332.5 -138.39 1327.5 -127.74 1322.5 -133.71 1317.5 -138.06 1312.5 -136.19 1307.5 -137.41 1302.5 -136.26 1297.5 -139.11 1292.5 -139.78 1287.5 -137.57 1282.5 -134.31 1277.5 -139.81 1272.5 -138.16 1267.5 -135.29 1262.5 -133.86 1257.5 -140.2 1252.5 -136.3 1247.5 -140.17 1242.5 -141.43 1237.5 -140.94 1232.5 -137.17 1227.5 -137.34 1222.5 -143.85 1217.5 -144.54 1212.5 -143.06 1207.5 -146.47 1202.5 -139.66 1197.5 -143.39 1192.5 -141.36 1187.5 -149.31 1182.5 -141.91 1177.5 -139.03 1172.5 -139.54 1167.5 -139.35 1162.5 -139.85 1157.5 -140.84 1152.5 -140.12 1147.5 -139.02 1142.5 -136.71 1137.5 -136.47 1132.5 -141.04 1127.5 -141.04 1122.5 -136.23 1117.5 -135.33 1112.5 -136.29 1107.5 -133.19 1102.5 -135.46 1097.5 -138.46 1092.5 -138.28 1087.5 -138.46 1082.5 -139.69 1077.5 -140.77 1072.5 -141.4 1067.5 -138.57 1062.5 -140.41 1057.5 -143.12 1052.5 -140.3 1047.5 -138.61 1042.5 -139.82 1037.5 -140.8 1032.5 -139.74 1027.5 -138.95 1022.5 -137.25 1017.5 -136.09 1012.5 -137.1 1007.5 -139.85 1002.5 -139.72 997.5 -136.26
