Article Synopsis
- - The South American summer monsoon (SASM) significantly affects the climate in tropical South America, but its variability over long periods has been hard to understand and sometimes shows conflicting results in current climate models and data.
- - A new study utilized a paleoclimate data assimilation method that merged model findings with oxygen isotope data to create a detailed reconstruction of the region's summer hydroclimate over the last millennium, at a resolution of five years.
- - The researchers found that there was a notable intensification of the SASM during the transition from the Medieval Climate Anomaly to the Little Ice Age, linked to shifts in major atmospheric circulation patterns that need to be accurately modeled for future climate predictions.
