Role of seasonal transitions and westerly jets in East Asian paleoclimate
The summer rainfall climate of East Asia underwent large and abrupt changes during past
climates, in response to precessional forcing, glacial–interglacial cycles as well as abrupt …

Poleward and weakened westerlies during Pliocene warmth
The prevailing mid-latitude westerly winds, known as the westerlies, are a fundamental
component of the climate system because they have a crucial role in driving surface ocean …

Evolution and variability of the Asian monsoon and its potential linkage with uplift of the Himalaya and Tibetan Plateau
Uplift of the Himalaya and Tibetan Plateau (HTP) and its linkage with the evolution of the
Asian monsoon has been regarded as a typical example of a tectonic–climate linkage …

Dust storms: Recent developments
AS Goudie - Journal of environmental management, 2009 - Elsevier
Dust storms have a number of impacts upon the environment including radiative forcing, and
biogeochemical cycling. They transport material over many thousands of kilometres. They …

Source-to-sink fluctuations of Asian aeolian deposits since the late Oligocene
The source-to-sink fluctuations of Asian aeolian deposits have been investigated over the
past two decades using multiple mineralogical and geochemical tracers. These source …

Twelve thousand years of dust: the Holocene global dust cycle constrained by natural archives
Mineral dust plays an important role in the climate system by interacting with radiation,
clouds, and biogeochemical cycles. In addition, natural archives show that the dust cycle …
