Estimates of interannual variability from new and published coral records from the northern Line Islands
Coral reconstructions of central tropical Pacific climate suggest a 25% increase in recent El Niño Southern Oscillation intensity
linear model accounting for changes in drying ratio and mean source distance
Global patterns of evaporation and precipitation leave a traceable isotopic fingerprint
Megadrougth schematic and teleconnections
Volcanic eruptions interact with El Nino events, affecting sustained ‘megadrought’
Decadal-scale correlations between northern Gulf of Mexico and global sea surface salinity as well as continental precipitation
Precipitation and ocean circulation changes linked during the Little Ice Age
monthly-mean analysis of oxygen isotopes in precipitation and gross primary productivity
Ice-core evidence for southward shifts of tropical rainfall in response to iceberg discharge during the last glacial period
Differences between preindustrial (left) and LGM (right) ocean circulation
The role of Antarctic sea ice in shaping modern and glacial deep ocean circulation
Global-mean surface air temperature (SAT) anomalies with respect to preindustrial reference level. Left panel: Reconstructions of global-mean SAT anomaly for the last 784,000 years based on studies indicated in the panel. Right panel: Reconstructed and simulated global-mean SAT anomaly and global warming projections from data sources indicated in the panel.
