A The Aktau Section is in the arid zone predominantly influenced by moisture derived from the westerlies. The Ashigong Section in the Guide Basin receives precipitation from both the westerlies and the East Asian summer monsoon. Finally, ODP 1148 is proximal to East Asian summer monsoon moisture sources. The base map was taken from https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/global/ that is a globally shareable website. B, C are field photographs from the Guide Section. EAWM-East Asian winter monsoon; EASM-East Asian summer monsoon; ISM-Indian summer monsoon.
