Position and orientation of the westerly jet determined Holocene rainfall patterns in China

Position and orientation of the westerly jet determined Holocene rainfall patterns in China

The basic mechanisms behind the East Asian Summer Monsoon remain poorly understood. Using proxy-based reconstructions and simulations, here the authors show that changes in the orientation and position of the westerly jet stream resulted in regionally asynchronous Holocene precipitation maxima.
