Abstract:

The Greenland Interstadial 8(GIS-8)event during Marine Isotope Stage 3(MIS3)is characterized by significant warming at northern high latitudes. However,relatively few high-resolution geological records have been used to reveal its detailed structure and global response. In this study,nine high-precision 230Th ages and 442 oxygen isotope(δ18O)data were measured from a stalagmite(XY2-10) collected from Xianyun Cave in Fujian Province. These data enable us to reconstruct the evolution of the East Asian Summer Monsoon(EASM)intensity with an average temporal resolution of 5 years over the period of 38.20-36.10ka B.P.(Before Present,“Present”refers to 1950 AD),which covers the Chinese Interstadial 8(CIS-8)event. The δ18O time series exhibit a stable negative characteristic during the CIS-8 period,consistent with the trends observed in δ18O records from other stalagmites in the Chinese monsoon region,such as those from Hulu Cave,Yongxing Cave,and Xiaobailong Cave. However,the strengthening trend in summer monsoon intensity recorded by the stalagmite in Xianyun Cave during CIS-8 contrasts with the cooling trend evident in the Greenland ice core δ18O record. The analysis suggests that during CIS-8,enhanced cooling in Antarctica strengthened the Mascarene High and the transequatorial flow in the Southern Hemisphere,resulting in an overall stronger EASM in southern China, as reflected in the stalagmite δ18O records. Our sub-decadal resolution record also identifies 21 centennial- to interdecadal-scale summer monsoon enhancement events within the CIS-8 interval. These events correlate well with corresponding events in the Greenland NEEM(Northern Greenland Eemian Ice Drilling)ice-core δ18O record and the core albedo record from the Arabian Sea Basin. This correlation indicates that the EASM enhancement(weakening),warming(cooling)of northern high latitudes,and northward(southward)shift of the Intertropical Convergence Zone(ITCZ)are strongly linked on centennial- to interdecadal-scales. These connections are likely driven by rapid air-sea coupling mechanism,which is influenced by changes in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation(AMOC) in the North Atlantic.

摘要:

基于福建仙云洞石笋(XY2-10)的9个高精度230Th年龄和442个氧同位素数据,重建了38.20—36.10ka B.P.平均分辨率达5 yr的东亚夏季风(East Asian Summer Monsoon,EASM)强度演变历史。福建仙云洞石笋 δ18O 值在CIS-8(Chinese Interstadial 8)时期整体呈现出稳定的偏负特征,与同一时期中国季风区内葫芦洞、永兴洞、小白龙洞石笋 δ18O 记录趋势较为一致,但该石笋 δ18O 记录的夏季风强度在CIS-8期间整体偏强的趋势,与格陵兰冰芯 δ18O 记录的降温趋势不同。分析表明,在CIS-8事件期间,南极变冷,其通过增强南半球马斯克林高压(Mascarene High,MH)和越赤道气流,使中国南方地区石笋 δ18O 记录的EASM整体保持较强态势。此外,仙云洞石笋 δ18O 记录还揭示了CIS-8事件内部存在21次百年至十年际尺度的夏季风增强事件,这与格陵兰NEEM(Northern Greenland Eemian Ice Drilling)冰芯 δ18O 记录、阿拉伯海海盆岩心反照率记录的亚旋回事件相对应,表明EASM增强(减弱)、北高纬温度升高(降低)和赤道辐合带(Intertropical Convergence Zone,ITCZ)北移(南移)在百年至十年际尺度上存在紧密的联系,而这种联系可能是源于北大西洋经向翻转环流(Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation,AMOC)变化引起的北半球高纬与低纬地区的快速海气耦合。
