Correlation between climate events in the North Atlantic and China during the last glaciation

Grain-size data from Chinese loess and intercalated accretionary palaeosols of the last-glacial age were examined for evidence of similar climate signals remote from the North Atlantic region. The results imply that the climates of the North Atlantic and China were linked by the effect of westerly w...

Description
Summary:	Grain-size data from Chinese loess and intercalated accretionary palaeosols of the last-glacial age were examined for evidence of similar climate signals remote from the North Atlantic region. The results imply that the climates of the North Atlantic and China were linked by the effect of westerly winds.
