“…Sediment trap experiments (Wiesner et al 1996) indicate that the opal flux is mainly controlled by summer monsoon winds in the southern SCS. Our opal content record in MD972142 is high in most interglacial stages, the same pattern that has been previously reported from SONNE core 17957 (10°53.9'N, 115°18.30'E) (Jian et al 2000) in the southern SCS. In addition, the opal record of MD972142 is well correlated with an Arabian summer monsoon TOC record from ODP site 723 (18°03.079'N, 57°36.561'E) (Emeis et al 1995).…”

“…For example, opal content maxima occur in MIS 1, MIS 2, early and late MIS 5, late MIS 7, MIS 8, MIS 10, MIS 11, late MIS 13, middle MIS 17, and early MIS 19. The opal content pattern appears to be different from that observed in cores from the northern SCS (Chen 1999); this pattern is similar to that observed in the southern SCS (Jian et al 2000;Wang and Li 2003). More interestingly, we also observed a long-term trend of opal contents increasing since~330 kya.…”

Variations in sea surface temperature (SST), productivity, and biogenic components such as total organic carbon (TOC), carbonate, and opal contents measured from IMAGES (International Marine Global Changes Study) core MD972142 provide information about long-term paleoceanographic changes during the past~870000 years in the southeastern South China Sea (SCS). MD972142 U 37 k' -SSTs varied from 25 to 29°C, paralleling the glacial to interglacial changes. MD972142 biogenic components show relatively high carbonate and opal, and low TOC contents in interglacial stages, and low carbonate and opal and high TOC contents in glacial stages, and these variations appear to be sensitive to regional terrestrial sediment input and productivity. Our analysis indicates that the MD972142 carbonate record is primarily controlled by terrestrial sediment inputs that are associated with sea level fluctuations during past glacial-interglacial stages. The TOC record reflects past glacial-interglacial changes in both monsoon-induced productivity and terrestrial organic matter input in the SCS. The TOC record exhibits several short-term peaks that are associated with lower U 37 k' -SSTs (especially in MIS 2 -4, 10, 12), perhaps implying a much strengthened winter monsoon. The opal record shows relatively high content in most interglacial stages, which appears to be linked to increased summer monsoon upwelling or increased siliceous sediment input by more precipitation and river runoff during warm climate conditions. The TOC and opal contents both show long-term increasing trends since the mid-Brunhes, most noticeably from~330 kya. The long-term trends observed in this study are most likely attributable to changes in SCS hydrography, productivity, and/or preservation in response to the increased strength of the East Asian monsoon system on possibly tectonic timescales.

“…The relative climatic cooling during this late period was also con¢rmed by the rising of pollen percentages of the boreal conifers and probably also by the presence of the dwarf liverwort (Anthoceros). In sum, the pollen record suggests cooler early and later periods and a warmer middle one, which is supported by the higher sea surface temperatures (SST) inferred during MIS 23 to MIS 11 in the southern SCS on the basis of the paleoecological transfer function of planktonic foraminifera (Jian et al, 2000).…”

“…Core-top calibrations are the preferred method of transfer function generation, as they incorporate temporal and spatial variability in production and diagenetic impacts upon initial sedimentation (Kucera et al, 2005). The three transfer function data sets used here are those used in the original publications (Table 1): the Imbrie-Kipp (1971) method based on Atlantic core-tops for Site 607 (Ruddiman et al, 1989), the FP-12E function from the western north Pacific (Thompson, 1981) for Site GIK17957-2 (Jian et al, 2000), and an artificial neural network (ANN) technique for Site 1143 (Crundwell et al, 2008). Of importance for all applications of transfer function proxies is the potential for nonanalogue situations to arise as a result of evolutionary events within the foraminiferal assemblage, particularly prior to 1 Ma (Kucera et al, 2005).…”

This change in periodicity and amplitude cannot be explained by a change in 'external' astronomical forcing. Here, we review and integrate published records of sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) to assess whether a common global expression of the MPT in the surface ocean can be recognized, and examine our findings in light of mechanisms proposed to explain climate system reorganization across the MPT. Weshow that glacial-interglacial variability in SSTs is superimposed upon a longer-term cooling trend in oceanographic systems spanning the low-to high-latitudes. Regional Alongside the long-term SST cooling trends, quasi-100 ka cycles begin to emerge in both the SST and  18 O records at 1.2 Ma, and become dominant with the expansion of the ice-sheets at 0.9 Ma. We show that the intensified glacial-stage cooling is accompanied by...
