Quaternary rainfall variability is governed by insolation in northern China and ice-sheet forcing in the South

The latitude-dependent periodicity of East Asian hydroclimate during the Quaternary was probably a response to summer insolation in the north and ice sheet forcing in the south, suggested by analyses of proxy-based rainfall records and climate model simulations.
