We review teleconnections within the atmosphere and ocean, their dynamics and their role
in coupled climate variability. We concentrate on teleconnections in the latitudinal direction …

This paper reviews recent progress made by Chinese scientists on the pathways of
influence of the Northern Hemisphere mid-high latitudes on East Asian climate within the …

Much of our understanding of Cenozoic climate is based on the record of δ18O measured in
benthic foraminifera. However, this measurement reflects a combined signal of global …

While the abrupt climate events of the last deglaciation are well defined in ice core records
from the polar regions of both hemispheres, their manifestation elsewhere is less well …

The emerging interest in decadal climate prediction highlights the importance of
understanding the mechanisms of decadal to interdecadal climate variability. The purpose of …

Atmospheric CO2 fluctuations over glacial–interglacial cycles remain a major challenge to
our understanding of the carbon cycle and the climate system. Leading hypotheses put …

As part of a wider study of last glacial and deglacial climates in the Southern Hemisphere
continents, we here review terrestrial and near-shore marine records from equatorial and …

The climate of the tropics and surrounding regions is defined by pronounced zonal (east–
west) and meridional (equator to mid-latitudes) gradients in sea surface temperature. These …

A 1360-yr control run from a global coupled climate model (the Parallel Climate Model) is
analyzed. It simulates “megadroughts” in the southwestern United States and Indian …

The tectonically driven closure of tropical seaways during the Pliocene epoch (∼ 5–2 million
years (Myr) ago) altered ocean circulation and affected the evolution of climate. Plate …
