Abstract

Understanding regional paleotemperature changes over the past 2000 years is crucial for global climate networks, as it provides valuable insights into climate dynamics and offers a regional perspective within the global system. In this study, we present a high-resolution temperature reconstruction (∼10-year resolution) for the past two millennia, using branched dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) from the laminated sediments of Lake Shuanggoushan in Northeast China. Our reconstruction of month-above-freezing temperatures (MAFT) revealed significant temperature variability on decadal to centennial timescales, which aligns well with other paleotemperature records from Northeast China but diverges from the composite temperature series of the broader Chinese region. In this region, instrumental records revealed a strong positive correlation between the Arctic Oscillation (AO) and winter-spring temperatures (Nov–Apr), with a weaker correlation during the ice-free season (May–Oct). Paleoclimate records further demonstrate a weak positive correlation (r = 0.22, p < 0.01) between the AO index and MAFTs on decadal timescales, suggesting that the AO has influenced regional temperature variability over the past 2000 years. Spectral analysis of the temperature time series identified two periodicities (55–57 and 66–67 years) with 99 % confidence, which closely align with the ∼60-year solar cycle. This finding indicated a possible link between temperature variability and solar activity. Overall, our results highlight the significance of the AO and solar activity in driving decadal temperature variability during ice-free seasons in Northeast China over the past two millennia.
过去2000年中国东北地区的温度变化:与北极涛动和太阳活动的联系
了解过去2000年的区域古温度变化对全球气候网络至关重要,因为它提供了对气候动力学的宝贵见解,并提供了全球系统内的区域视角。在这项研究中,我们使用来自中国东北双沟山湖层状沉积物的支链二烷基甘油四醚(brGDGTs)进行了过去两千年的高分辨率温度重建(~ 10年分辨率)。月上冻温度(MAFT)重建结果显示,在年代际到百年的时间尺度上,东北地区的温度变化与其他古温度记录一致,但与中国更广泛地区的复合温度序列存在差异。仪器记录显示,北极涛动(AO)与冬春气温(11 ~ 4月)呈显著正相关,无冰期(5 ~ 10月)相关性较弱。古气候记录进一步显示出弱正相关(r = 0.22, p <;在年代际尺度上,AO指数与MAFTs之间的差异为0.01),表明AO在过去2000年影响了区域温度变化。温度时间序列的光谱分析确定了两个周期(55-57年和66-67年),置信度为99%,与约60年的太阳周期密切相关。这一发现表明温度变化和太阳活动之间可能存在联系。总的来说,我们的研究结果强调了过去2000年来,AO和太阳活动在驱动中国东北无冰季节的年代际温度变化中的重要性。

期刊介绍: Quaternary International is the official journal of the International Union for Quaternary Research. The objectives are to publish a high quality scientific journal under the auspices of the premier Quaternary association that reflects the interdisciplinary nature of INQUA and records recent advances in Quaternary science that appeal to a wide audience. This series will encompass all the full spectrum of the physical and natural sciences that are commonly employed in solving Quaternary problems. The policy is to publish peer refereed collected research papers from symposia, workshops and meetings sponsored by INQUA. In addition, other organizations may request publication of their collected works pertaining to the Quaternary.
