title: NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Lake Bolshoye Shchuchye, Polar Urals 24,000 Year Leaf Wax d2H Data

description: The Russian Arctic is an extensive region, with relatively few long-duration paleoclimate reconstructions compared to other terrestrial Arctic regions. We present a 24 000-year reconstruction of climate in the Polar Ural Mountains using n-alkanoic acid hydrogen isotopes from Lake Bolshoye Shchuchye. Major last deglaciation climate changes in the North Atlantic are present in this record, including transitions associated with the Bølling–Allerød, Younger Dryas and Holocene. However, the magnitude of the last deglaciation isotopic shifts at Bolshoye Shchuchye are small relative to the North Atlantic, and are dwarfed by a shift to 2H-enriched values starting at 10.5k cal a bp at this site that is not present in most other records. The last deglaciation changes may be due to variations in local temperature, sea ice cover in the Barents and Kara seas, and plant community shifts impacting transpiration. The enrichment starting at 10.5-k cal a bp probably records a shift towards modern climate conditions, caused by the loss of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet, increased locally sourced moisture from the Barents and Kara seas, and northward treeline migration causing enhanced transpiration. Future warming may increase summer precipitation in this region, with changes to local ecosystems and carbon cycling.

title: NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Late Pleistocene Redox Metals in Bulk Sediment from the Gulf of Alaska, North Pacific Ocean

description: Holocene and Pleistocene marine sediment records in the North Pacific record multiple dysoxic events proximal to continental margins and oxygen minimum zones (OMZs). High-resolution paleoenvironmental studies in the Gulf of Alaska (GoA) were previously restricted to the last ~17,000 years, limiting our knowledge of oxygenation in the high latitude North Pacific. Here we develop a ~54,000-year-long record of co-registered benthic foraminiferal assemblages and redox sensitive metal concentrations (Mo/Al and U/Al) at Site U1419 in the upper OMZ of GoA to reconstruct the history of OMZ extent and intensity at multi-centennial resolution. Using multivariate analyses of total benthic foraminiferal assemblages, we develop quantitative dissolved oxygen estimates that are robust to differences in the benthic foraminiferal size fraction analyzed, replicate modern oxygenation patterns in the GoA, and are cross-validated by redox sensitive metal concentrations. We identify dysoxic events in the early Holocene and in the Bølling-Allerød (B/A), consistent with previous studies, as well as two dysoxic events during MIS 3 that are comparable in severity to the B/A event and lower in oxygen than the modern GoA OMZ. We further record short-duration (<300 years) dysoxic events during glacial times similar to those recorded at more southern latitudes. Rates of oxygenation change can be abrupt with transitions exceeding 1 ml/L O2 in 100 years. Quantitative estimates of paleo-oxygenation, such as those possible with benthic foraminiferal assemblages, are important for forecasting future oxygenation changes in OMZs and their potential impacts on the marine ecosystems.

title: NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Eastern Pacific Site NH8P 24,000 Year Alkenone Unsaturation Index Data

description: We explore the response of northeastern Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) to deglacial (~16–7 ka) climate variability as recorded in Uk'37-based SST reconstructions spanning 65°N to 10°S. Included in the analysis is a new 23 kyr SST record from core NH8P from the northwest Mexican Margin. We isolate spatiotemporal patterns in regional SSTs with trend empirical orthogonal function (TEOF) analysis. The dominant TEOF mode reflects deglacial warming associated with rising pCO2. Tropical and subtropical SSTs correlated most strongly with this mode, suggesting that the thermodynamic response of the tropical eastern Pacific to greenhouse gas forcing was the dominant driver of regional SST change during deglaciation. The second TEOF mode reflects millennial-scale variability and is most strongly expressed in subpolar SSTs. The synchronous timing between North Pacific and North Atlantic SST oscillations is evidence for the rapid transmission of millennial-scale climate perturbations between the basins, likely through an atmospheric teleconnection. SSTs at NH8P have no correlation with either leading TEOF mode as there is minimal change in SST at this site after ~20 ka. A model simulation of the LGM indicates that glacial cooling was muted in much of the Eastern Pacific Warm Pool (EPWP), in which NH8P lies, due to reductions in latent heat flux. This suggests that the wind-evaporation-SST feedback was responsible for the attenuation of EPWP cooling. Overall, this study highlights the distinct latitudinal trends in the Pacific's response to deglaciation.

description: Our understanding of the natural variability of hydroclimate before the instrumental period (ca. 1900 CE in the United States) is largely dependent on tree-ring-based reconstructions. Large-scale soil moisture reconstructions from a network of tree-ring chronologies have greatly improved our understanding of the spatial and temporal variability in hydroclimate conditions, particularly extremes of both drought and pluvial (wet) events. However, certain regions within these large-scale network reconstructions in the US are modeled by few tree-ring chronologies. Further, many of the chronologies currently publicly available on the International Tree-Ring Data Bank (ITRDB) were collected in the 1980s and 1990s, and thus our understanding of the sensitivity of radial growth to soil moisture in the US is based on a period that experienced multiple extremely severe droughts and neglects the impacts of recent, rapid global change. In this study, we expanded the tree-ring network of the Ohio River valley in the US, a region with sparse coverage. We used a total of 72 chronologies across 15 species to examine how increasing the density of the tree-ring network influences the representation of reconstructing the Palmer Meteorological Drought Index (PMDI). Further, we tested how the sampling date and therefore the calibration period influenced the reconstruction models by creating reconstructions that ended in the year 1980 and compared them to reconstructions ending in 2010 from the same chronologies. We found that increasing the density of the tree-ring network resulted in reconstructed values that better matched the spatial variability of instrumentally recorded droughts and, to a lesser extent, pluvials. By extending the calibration period to 2010 compared to 1980, the sensitivity of tree rings to PMDI decreased in the southern portion of our region where severe drought conditions have been absent over recent decades. We emphasize the need of building a high-density tree-ring network to better represent the spatial variability of past droughts and pluvials. Further, chronologies on the ITRDB need updating regularly to better understand how the sensitivity of tree rings to climate may vary through time.

description: The impacts of inland flooding caused by tropical cyclones (TCs), including loss of life, infrastructure disruption, and alteration of natural landscapes, have increased over recent decades. While these impacts are well documented, changes in TC precipitation extremes—the proximate cause of such inland flooding—have been more difficult to detect. Here, we present a latewood tree-ring–based record of seasonal (June 1 through October 15) TC precipitation sums (ΣTCP) from the region in North America that receives the most ΣTCP: coastal North and South Carolina. Our 319-y-long ΣTCP reconstruction reveals that ΣTCP extremes (≥0.95 quantile) have increased by 2 to 4 mm/decade since 1700 CE, with most of the increase occurring in the last 60 y. Consistent with the hypothesis that TCs are moving slower under anthropogenic climate change, we show that seasonal ΣTCP along the US East Coast are positively related to seasonal average TC duration and TC translation speed.

title: NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Shanxi Province, Northern China 225 Year Precipitation Reconstruction

description: Understanding the interactions between the East Asian summer monsoon and Indian summer monsoon is a challenging task because of the insufficient proxy records. In this study, we reconstructed a 225-year precipitation record by combining ring widths of Pinus tabulaeformis and stable oxygen isotope ratios of Larix principis-rupprechtii using a multi-proxy dendroclimatology approach in the North China. The reconstructed record explained 51.9% of the variance in the observed precipitation during 1955-2003. The precipitation series could indicate the intensity of the East Asian summer monsoon. A spatial field analysis indicated that the series was strongly correlated with the reconstructed records of the surrounding area and a large part of the Indian subcontinent. The reconstructed records were significantly and positively correlated with All Indian Precipitation records (r = 0.32, n = 132, p < 0.001) and with a proxy of the Indian summer monsoon. These findings suggest that a persistent teleconnection exists between the reconstructed record and the Indian summer monsoon records from the past 225 years. The observed interannual synchronisation potentially resulted from the transport of partial water vapour from the Indian summer monsoon area to NC; however, this synchronisation could not be attributed to the El Nino-South Oscillation (ENSO). When considering an interdecadal time scale, the synchronisation with the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) has varied since 1779, implying that the NAO may serve as an additional atmospheric pattern that affects this teleconnection.

title: NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Gulf of Mexico SST, Stable Isotope and Geochemistry Data during the last 21 ka

description: Within the Gulf of Mexico (GOM), the Bryant Canyon is exceptional in that rapid sedimentation sustained by high rates of terrigenous sediment delivery and surface marine productivity make this basin an excellent recorder of paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic conditions. We present a new 21-kyr record of sea surface temperature (SST) and local salinity changes from the NW GOM (core JPC-26) approximated from combined Globigerinoides ruber morphotype-specific d18O and Mg/Ca, as well as Ba/Ca, which reflect the subtropical GOM hydrographic dynamics and their relationship to both Mississippi River discharges and climate evolution during the last deglaciation. Overall, the reconstructed SST and SSS-related patterns reveal notable variations in amplitude between the analyzed morphotypes, adding valuable insights to previously published G. ruber (w, mixed) GOM records. Especially during the deglaciation, Bryant Canyon meltwater flooding events (BCDFs) and associated sea surface freshening seem to be more pronounced than the SST reduction. Our Mg/Ca-derived SST records of both morphotypes (G. ruber sensu stricto (s.s.) and G. ruber sensu lato (s.l.)) show comparable general trends, but with important SST differences (DT). We interpret down-core DT as a record of changing upper water column hydrography, with particular influence from the deglacial meltwater (BCDFs) or Holocene (BCHFs) flooding events. During the warm intervals, the deeper, thicker and probably more seasonally persistent mixed layer led to more uniform thermal conditions for both G. ruber morphotypes and therefore to a minimum DT. On the contrary, during the cold and low salinity periods, the shallower mixed layer favored more habitat divergence, and caused a maximum thermal gradient in the well-stratified upper water column. Overall, this supports the notion that G. ruber s.s. is consistently calcifying in warmer waters than G. ruber s.l., either due to a shallower depth habitat or to a more summer-weighted seasonal distribution. Moreover, intra-specific paired d13C and Ba/Ca differences show that G. ruber s.l. is more sensitive to river water influence than G. ruber s.s., due to its ability to change its depth habitat and therefore exploit optimal (temperature, salinity, productivity, stratification) conditions during the low-salinity events. Overall, our observations support the current practice of treating the two G. ruber morphotypes separately and further illustrate the necessity to map both their spatial and temporal distribution.

title: NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Hulun Lake, China Air Temperature and Precipitation Reconstructions during the Holocene

description: Quantitative palaeoclimatic reconstruction with the weighted averaging partial least squares method was applied to the pollen profile from Hulun Lake in northeastern Inner Mongolia. The data provide a detailed history of variations in precipitation and temperature over the northeastern margin of the East Asian summer monsoon during the Holocene. A warm and dry climate prevailed over the lake region until c. 8000 cal. BP. During the period c. 8000–4400 cal. BP, precipitation increased markedly and temperature gradually declined. The interval between c. 4400 and 3350 cal. BP was marked by extremely dry and relatively cold conditions. Precipitation recovered from c. 3350 to 1000 cal. BP, with temperatures rising c. 3350–2050 cal. BP and dropping c. 2050–1000 cal. BP. During the last 500 years, the climate of the lake region displayed a general trend of warming and wetting. While Holocene temperature variations in the mid-high latitude monsoonal margin were controlled by changes in summer solar radiation in the Northern Hemisphere, they could also be related to the strength of the East Asian summer monsoon. The lack of precipitation during the early Holocene could be attributed to the weakened summer monsoon resulting from the existence of remnant ice sheets in the Northern Hemisphere. Changes in the monsoonal precipitation during the middle to late Holocene would have been associated with the ocean–atmosphere interacting processes occurring in the western tropical Pacific.

description: Sugar maple (Acer saccharum) is a shade-tolerant, late successional dominant species in the North American eastern deciduous forest. The objective of this study was to quantify the relationship between climate and radial growth in sugar maple and to identify spatial and temporal patterns in dendroclimatic response. We used a combination of archived sugar maple tree-ring chronologies and newly sampled sites to calculate dendroclimatic response of sugar maple at 13 sites in the United States and Canada. At all sites, sugar maple growth was significantly correlated to monthly temperature, precipitation, or Palmer Drought Severity Index. However, there were no generalizable patterns in sugar maple's growth response to climate. Individual sites had unique dendroclimatic responses with respect to: a) which climatic variables were correlated to radial growth; b) what months had significant correlations between climate and radial growth; and c) what years had significant correlations between climate and radial growth. The individualistic dendroclimatic response of sugar maple appears to reflect a plastic response of the species to changes in climate perhaps related to its status as a strong competitor in late-successional forests. This ability to survive a wide range of environmental conditions may bode well for the species persistence under variable future climatic conditions. It also points to the need for more research on late-successional species in examining forest response to potential climate change scenarios because these species may be more resilient than early-successional species.
