“…A-the Magnetic susceptibility time series according to the susceptibility age model; B-the Magnetic susceptibility time series according to the grain-size age model; C-showing the benthic δ 18 O records between 3. Jiang et al, 2017;Sun et al, 2002;Zan et al, 2018), and reveal obvious difference with river sediments for absence of the coarse particle fraction (>125 μm; Figure 4), indicating that the sediments are mainly reworked aeolian deposition. The dynamics study of aeolian deposition in the Loess Plateau shows that the particle size fraction of 10-70 μm is mainly transported by Asian winter monsoon (Fan et al, 2006;Rea et al, 1998;Sun, 2004), whereas the 2-10-μm fraction is mainly suspended by high-altitude westerly wind (Derbyshire, Meng& Kemp, 1998;Ji, Chen & Lu., 1999;Jiang et al, 2014;Sun, 2002a;Sun, 2002b;Whalley, Marshall & Smith, 1982).…”
