摘要
Based on the data of temperature changes revealed by means of various palaeothermometric proxy indices,it is found that the magnitude of temperature decrease became large with altitude in the equatorial regions during the Last Glacial Maximum. The direct cause of this phenomenon was the change in temperature lapse rate, which was about(0.1±0.05)℃/100 m larger in the equator during the Last Glacial Maximum than at present. Moreover, the analyses show that CLIMAP possibly underestimated the sea surface temperature decrease in the equatorial regions during the Last Glacial Maximum.
