Marine sediments, speleothems, paleo-lake elevations, and ice core methane and δ 18 O of O 2 ( δ 18 O atm ) records provide ample evidence for repeated abrupt meridional shifts in tropical rainfall belts throughout the last glacial cycle. To improve understanding of the impact of abrupt events on th...
