Fig. 2: Comparison of paleoclimate records across Termination II.
From: Asian summer monsoon variability across Termination II and implications for ice age terminations
a CO2 records from the EDC ice core (orange rectangles35, brown triangles20, purple dots17,31), and b CH4 record from the EDC ice core33, all on the AICC2012 gas-age chronology32. The yellow dot and error bar indicate abrupt CH4 and CO2 increase with an error from the AICC2012 chronology32. c A high-resolution and well-dated Asian summer monsoon (ASM) record combining Shima records (green, this study) with the Sanbao record9 (black). The green dot and error bar indicate abrupt ASM intensification with a dating error of 100 years from Sanbao Cave record9. d North Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST) record from core MD01-244436. e Ice-rafted debris (IRD) percentage from core ODP98437 on the tuned chronology36. Green bars denote the Heinrich (H) events 12 and 11. Blue dashed lines link CH4 record with the ASM, and black dashed lines link SST record with the ASM.
