From: Orbital eccentricity and internal feedbacks drove the Triassic megamonsoon variability
Simulated global monsoon regions and geological records with well-preserved orbital-scale megamonsoonal dynamics. (a) Paleogeography of the ~ 250 Ma Triassic world42 and simulated monsoon regions (outlined in white) in the simulations of E0 in panel (b) illustrating the location of the Ordos Basin and other sites mentioned in the text. White squares denote terrestrial settings, and white circles denote marine settings. Names: C = Colorado Plateau and Castile Evaporite Basin; N = Newark Basin; S = St. Audrie’s Bay; G = Germanic Basin; O = Ordos Basin; SC = South China; J = BSi data from the deep-sea bedded chert sequence at Inuyama, Japan; A = Arabian Platform. (b–e) Maps of global monsoon regions (outlined in red) and annual mean net precipitation (shaded; units: mm d−1) for the simulation experiments E0 (b), XE0 (c), Pmax (d), and Pmin (e).
