Summary: A 5-year-resolution absolute-dated oxygen isotope record from Dongge Cave,
southern China, provides a continuous history of the Asian monsoon over
the past 9000 years. Although the record broadly follows summer insolation,
it is punctuated by eight weak monsoon events lasting ~1 to 5 centuries.
One correlates with the "8200-year" event, another with the collapse of the
Chinese Neolithic culture, and most with North Atlantic ice-rafting events.
Cross-correlation of the decadal- to centennial-scale monsoon record with
the atmospheric carbon-14 record shows that some, but not all, of the
monsoon variability at these frequencies results from changes in solar output.
