Abstract: | To study the long-term variation of the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM), the Asian-Pacific Oscil-lation index (IAPO), representing a zonal thermal contrast between Asia and the North Pacific, is recon-structed over the past millennium. During the Little Ice Age (LIA), the variability of the reconstructed IAPO is closely linked to dry-wet anomalies in eastern China on the centennial scale. This correlation pattern is consistent with the observation during the current period, which suggests that the recon-structed IAPO may generally represent the centennial- scale variation of the EASM and rainfall anomalies over eastern China during the LIA. |
