Astronomically forced variations in western African rainfall (21 N-20 S) during the Last Interglacial period

Autores: Govin, Aline; Varma, Vidya; Prange, Matthias.
This study documents the long-term evolution of western African precipitation during the Last Interglacial (LIG). We compare geochemical records obtained on nine sediment cores from the western African margin to a transient simulation (130–115 ka) performed with an ocean-atmosphere general circulation model and insolation as sole forcing. Good agreement between proxy records and model outputs indicates that long-term changes in western African precipitation largely responded to insolation variations during most of the LIG. After an early LIG dry phase (related to high-latitude iceberg melting or dating uncertainties), boreal summer insolation controlled the intensification of the North African monsoon between 127 and 122 ka, perhaps facilitating human...

S.; Bassinot, F.; Bazin, L.; Blunier, T.; Combourieu-nebout, N.; El Ouahabi, A.; Genty, D.; Gersonde, R.; Jimenez-amat, P.; Landais, A.; Martrat, B.; Masson-delmotte, V.; Parrenin, F.; Seidenkrantz, M. -s.; Veres, D.; Waelbroeck, C.; Zahn, R.
The Last Interglacial (LIG) represents an invaluable case study to investigate the response of components of the Earth system to global warming. However, the scarcity of absolute age constraints in most archives leads to extensive use of various stratigraphic alignments to different reference chronologies. This feature sets limitations to the accuracy of the stratigraphic assignment of the climatic sequence of events across the globe during the LIG. Here, we review the strengths and limitations of the methods that are commonly used to date or develop chronologies in various climatic archives for the time span (similar to 140 -100 ka) encompassing the penultimate deglaciation, the LIG and the glacial inception. Climatic hypotheses underlying record...
