Fig. 4: Glacial-interglacial dust records: Northern Hemisphere.
From: Higher interglacial dust fluxes relative to glacial periods in southwestern North American deserts
Glacial-interglacial cycles numbered by Marine Isotope Stage (strong glacials shaded blue). a Other long dust mass accumulation rate (DMAR) records from the Northern Hemisphere. Dust records (locations indicated in Fig. 1a) include the Chinese Loess Plateau at Xifeng, China72; Lake Biwa, Japan73; E. Atlantic core MD03-2705 downwind of Saharan West Africa74; and Northwest Pacific core V21-14675. b Total dust mass accumulation rate at Stoneman Lake. Error envelope based on percent error propagation of values in the mass accumulation rate calculation (see “Methods” section).
