从 Sanbao 洞的一个石笋氧同位素记录,中国,与 7 230Th 年龄和 355 氧同位素数据建立了,在现在( ka BP )前从 284~240 千年为时期向东方亚洲季风(电动会计记帐机)紧张的连续历史提供 34 ka 的典型错误。这个新记录扩大以前出版的石笋 18O 记录回到海洋的氧同位素阶段(MIS ) 8。MIS8 电动会计记帐机记录广泛地跟随导致 orbitally 的曝晒变化并且被至少 6 标点强壮 -- 并且 3 个弱季风的事件。在结束 III (TIII ) 附近的弱季风事件在 257 ka BP, 253 ka BP 和 246 ka BP 被标明日期,并且能清楚地被相关到三冰木排碎片(IRD ) 在北方大西洋的事件。TIII 看起来显示二阶段的冰川的结束进程,类似于 TI 和 TII 的。阶段我被与完整的大气的 CO2 集中和南极温度上升是同时代的几几千年(250244 ka BP ) 的一个弱季风阶段描绘。阶段 II 被很快加强的季风在 244 ka BP 标记,由 CH4 集中和大气的 CO2 集中的快速的增加伴随了。我们的观察支持北半球(NH ) 夏天曝晒触发了的 Milankovitch 理论冰川间冰期的周期。另外,我们的结果建议南部的半球(嘘) 温暖可能在 TIII 便于 AM 的结束。
One stalagmite oxygen isotope record from Sanbao Cave, China, established with 7 ^230Th ages and 355 oxygen isotope data, provides a continuous history of the East Asian Monsoon (EAM) intensity for the period from 284 to 240 thousand years before present (ka BP) with typical errors of 3-4 ka. This new record extends the previously published stalagmite δ^18O record back to the marine oxygen isotope stage (MIS) 8. The MIS8 EAM record broadly follows orbitatly-induced insolation variations and is punctuated by at least 6 strong- and 3 weak-monsoon events. The weak monsoon events around Termination III (Till) are dated at -257 ka BP, -253 ka BP and -246 ka BP, and can be distinctly correlated to three ice-rafted debris (IRD) events in the North Atlantic. The TⅢ appears to display a two-phase glacial termination process, similar to that of the TⅠ and TⅡ. Phase Ⅰ is characterized by a weak monsoon stage of several millennia (-250-244 ka BP) that is coeval with the full atmospheric CO2 concentration and Antarctic temperature rise. Phase II is marked by a rapidly intensified monsoon at -244 ka BP, accompanied by the rapid increase in CH4 concentration and maxima of Antarctic temperature and atmospheric CO2 concentration. Our observation supports the Milankovitch theory that the Northern Hemisphere (NH) summer insolation triggered the glacial-interglacial cycles. In addition, our results suggest that the Southern Hemisphere (SH) wanning may have facilitated the termination of the AM at the TⅢ.
