- Abstract
- Monsoon is one of the most important components of the climate system and it strongly influences the economy, culture and rhythms of life of a large population on the Earth. Monsoon influences the climate not only in tropical and subtropical regions, but could also affect the climate at higher latitudes. Both observations and proxy reconstructions show that different regional monsoons (South and East Asian, Australian, North and South American, North and South African monsoons) could exhibit similar variations under a common forcing, but they also display significant differences related to the unique features of each monsoon system. High-resolution paleo-monsoon reconstructions with well dated chronology are indispensable for understanding the evolution of each monsoon system and the comparison between different monsoons.
