A method for determining Mg/Ca of stalagmite by LA-MC-ICPMS is studied. 24Mg/44Ca (Mass 22, intensity of 44Ca2+ , collected by ion counting and mass 24, intensity of 24Mg+, collected by Faraday cup) ratios were measur...A method for determining Mg/Ca of stalagmite by LA-MC-ICPMS is studied. 24Mg/44Ca (Mass 22, intensity of 44Ca2+ , collected by ion counting and mass 24, intensity of 24Mg+, collected by Faraday cup) ratios were measured in replace of Mg/Ca ratios. Both diameter of laser sampling spot and laser moving increment were 20 μm. The curve of Mg/Ca vs. distance directly was obtained. The result indicates that relative Mg/Ca ratios changed from 0.5 to 2.0 in this stalagmite and it is enough to reflect environmental factors act.展开更多

Our records reveal a lead-lag relationship between paired Mg/Ca-SST and δ18O during Termination II and the last interglacial period. Similarity in SST between our site and the Antarctic temperature proxy and in CO2 profile showed a close connection between the WPWP and the Antarctic. Values of 818Osw exhibited very similar variations to those of mean ocean δ18Osw, owing to the past sea-level changes on glacial-interglacial timescale. Calculated values of δ18O reflect a more saline condition during high local summer insolation （SI） periods. Such correspondence between δ18O and local SI in the WPWP may reflect complex interaction between ENSO and monsoon, which was stimulated by changes in solar irradiance and their influence on the local hydrologic cycle. This then caused a striking reorganization of atmospheric circulation over the WPWP.展开更多
