High-resolution millennial and centennial scale Holocene monsoon variability in the Higher Central Himalayas

The millennial and multi-centennial-scale phases of enhanced ISM are broadly comparable with the existing continental and marine records from the monsoon dominated region of SE Asia, suggesting sensitivity of the regions to short-term climatic perturbations. Further, the study observed that the phases of weakened ISM largely correlate with the drift-ice record of the northern Atlantic implying a coupling between short-term solar irradiance induced glacial boundary condition in the northern Atlantic and the millennial and multi- centennial scale monsoon variability in the central Himalaya.
