Hydroclimatic contrasts over Asian monsoon areas and linkages to tropical Pacific SSTs

Abstract: Knowledge of spatial and temporal hydroclimatic differences is critical in understanding climatic mechanisms. Here we show striking hydroclimatic contrasts between northern and southern parts of the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau (ETP), and those between East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) and Indian summer monsoon (ISM) areas during the past ~2,000 years. During the Medieval Period, and the last 100 to 200 years, the southern ETP (S-ETP) area was generally dry (on average), while the northern ETP (N-ETP) … Show more

“…In addition, the remarkable 80‐year decreasing trend during the period 1934–2013 (Figure a) is the largest in the entire 448 years under the 80‐year sliding windows (Figure b). This 80‐year decreasing trend is similar with the significant weakening of precipitation during the recent 100 years in the Indian monsoon region (Xu et al, ). It is likely because that precipitation in this study represent the changes of both Indian monsoon and East Asian monsoon; therefore, the P JJ series shows a decreasing trend in recent 100 years with value of approximately 0.14 mm/year, but it does not exceed the 95% significant level.…”

“…Continental China is also located where water vapor is transported both from the Indian and Pacific Oceans (Liu et al, ). Recent studies have suggested that the influence of the ISM has broadly extended into central and southern parts of eastern China during the past 2,000 years (Xu et al, ). These may result in complicated spatial monsoon patterns in continental China (J. Chen et al, , ).…”

“…Such proxies include the following: Lake level indicators: Inference of past lake levels, particularly from closed-basin lakes, serves as a sensitive indictor of P-E and therefore regional moisture balance (cf. Verschuren et al, 2000;Shuman et al, 2009;Xu et al, 2016;Goldsmith et al, 2017).…”

“…Numerous reconstructions in this class have been published, for instance D-W series for 120 subregions across China from 1470-2000 CE (CMA, 1981;Zhang et al, 2003), a regional D-W dataset from 960-1992 CE (Zhang et al, 1997), a 1000-year D-W dataset for the Guanzhong Plain (Hao et al, 2017), the history of moisture conditions for the last 2000 years (Gong and Hameed, 1991), D-W series for 63 sites since 137 BCE (Zhang, 1996), and a relatively new D-W dataset for the period 501-2000 CE that has been subsequently extended to cover the last 2000 years (Zheng et al, 2006(Zheng et al, , 2014. The characteristics of droughts and floods based on these records have been extensively studied, such as the frequency, severity, spatial patterns, and decadal to centennial variability of hydroclimate, as well as the relationship between D-W indices and temperature (e.g., Wang and Zhao, 1979;Zhang and Crowley, 1989;Yan et al, 1992;Qian et al, 2003;Shen et al, 2009;PAGES 2k Consortium, 2013).…”
