“…This record suggests that the summer monsoon was moderately strong between AD 190-530, gradually declined after AD 530 and was markedly weaker between AD 860-940 (Zhang et al, 2008) (Figure 4a and c). The offset of 60-140 years between the two data sets at the beginning and end of the weaker summer monsoon period, respectively, may stem from chronological uncertainties.…”

“…The stronger/weaker summer monsoon intervals presented in Figure 4a-f follow the interpretation of the respective authors and present a fairly coherent picture of Asian summer monsoon variability. The terrestrial plant leaf wax (δD wax ) record established from marine sediments from the Makassar Strait, Southwest Sulawesi (Tierney et al, 2010) is the only high-resolution record extending as far back as Pa Kho, while the Wanxiang Cave δ 18 O data set commences around AD 200 (Zhang et al, 2008). All other high-resolution records only cover the last 1400 years (central India composite record) (Berkelhammer et al, 2010;Sinha et al, 2011aSinha et al, , 2011bSinha et al, , 2007; the last 1000 years (Dongdao Island) (Yan et al, 2011) or the past 700-800 years (MADA data set; Dayu Cave) (Buckley et al, 2007(Buckley et al, , 2014Cook et al, 2010;Tan et al, 2009) (Figure 4a-f).…”

“…Studying past climate can improve our understanding of the processes and mecha-nisms behind the climate variability experienced, and can provide researchers with a scientific basis for better forecasting future climate change. In recent years, studies on past climate in eastern China have yielded regional proxybased temperature records [5][6][7][8][9], dry/wet indexes [10][11][12] or precipitation [13][14][15][16] time series with record lengths of 1000-2650 years at various temporal resolutions. These data are reconstructed using historical documents, stalagmites, tree rings, ice cores, and lake sediments.…”
