Abstract Color alternations in deep-sea sediment in the Japan Sea have been thought to be linked to millennial-scale variations in the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM), associated with the Dansgaard-Oeschger (D-O) cycles and Heinrich events in the high-latitude North Atlantic during Marine Isotope Stage 3 (MIS 3). In this study, we investigate the variability of sea surface salinity (SSS) in the northern East China Sea (ECS) to evaluate the EASM precipitation in South China and its linkage to the sediment color of the Japan Sea during MIS 3.
