Intensified monsoonal rainstorm events over westerly-dominated Asian interior during the warm mid-Holocene by Peixian Shu, Weijian Zhou, Aaron E. Putnam, Baosheng Li, Shugang Kang, Yingying Sha, Zhengguo Shi, Guodong Ming, Hong Wang, Youbin Sun, David K. Wright, Weiguo Liu, Xiaodong Liu, Peng Cheng, Yougui Song, Dongfeng Niu, John R. Dodson, Hua Du, Jiaju Zhao, Zeke Zhang, Yahui Qiu, Zhisheng An

“…Our results suggest that a drier mid-Holocene in the southern Tarim Basin was associated with a poleward displacement of the westerly jet due to relatively warm boreal summer temperatures in the mid-latitudes. Strengthened water vapor fluxes associated with the boreal summer monsoon facilitated extreme rainfall events and enhanced mountain erosion. …”
