“…, Farrell and Janecek (1991), Karas et al (2011), and Shackleton and Hall (1990) 0.69 The relative importance of high and low latitude forcings to the orbital-scale pacing of the eastern African monsoon is also uncertain. Mediterranean sapropels (Emeis et al, 2000;Hilgen, 1991;Lourens et al, 1996;Rose et al, 2016;Rossignol-Strick, 1983, 1985 and alkenone fluxes (Herbert et al, 2015), some northern African dust flux records (Skonieczny et al, 2019), and other eastern African indices of hydroclimate (Caley et al, 2018;Foerster et al, 2022;Joordens et al, 2011;Lupien et al, 2018Lupien et al, , 2022Nutz et al, 2017;Partridge et al, 1997) and vegetation (Lupien et al, 2018(Lupien et al, , 2021Yost et al, 2021) suggest that low-latitude seasonal insolation, mainly paced by precession (19-23 kyr), exerts an outsized influence on hydroclimate. However, other dust time series (deMenocal, 1995(deMenocal, , 2004Larrasoaña et al, 2003;Tiedemann et al, 1994;Trauth et al, 2009) and elemental X-ray fluorescence (XRF) ratios (Crocker et al, 2022) contain a strong 41-kyr (obliquity) signal.…”
