Fig. 5: Simulated regional sea-level pressures at different phases of the precession cycle.
From: Late Pleistocene island weathering and precipitation in the Western Pacific Warm Pool
a–c Sea-level pressure at 95 ka (precession maximum), 105 ka (precession minimum), and their difference (105 ka–95 ka). d Temporal evolution of the orbital precession index (orange line) and the sea-level pressure difference between 30°N and 10°S at ~150°E as an indicator for the Hadley circulation (blue line), with black arrows indicating the time slices in (a, b). Red line in (a, b) represents the sea-level pressure contour of 1017 hPa, and the location of the North Pacific Subtropical High (NPSH) is also marked. Note that the western boundary of the NPSH in (b) is shifted westwards by ~10° of longitude compared to (a). Yellow and black stars indicate the location of core MD01-2385.
