“…These out‐of‐the‐order grain size coarsening events within interglacials correspond well with insolation maxima paced by orbital eccentricity (arrows in Figures 6h and 6j), an observation that is supported by recent studies that infer an increased imprint of eccentricity, and in association precession, in the Qaidam Basin under high eccentricity amplitudes (Luo et al, 2018; Su et al, 2019; Su et al, 2019). During eccentricity maxima the amplitude of precession is larger, causing a summer season lengthening and thus potentially enhanced EASM precipitation (Berger, 1988; Braconnot et al, 2008).…”
