Reproducibility based on the sample overlapping

Poor correlation among d13C and d18O and good overlapping of several stalagmites

Analysis of modern rainfall d18O at Liang Luar shows that summer monsoon rainwater is depleted in 18O by 6?7% compared with rain water for the remainder of the year.This large isotopic contrast means that changes in the amount of summer rainfall, or the fraction of the year dominated by the northwest monsoon, produce a significant shift in the d18O of Flores rainfall. Today, the position of the ITCZ governs the balance between summer monsoon rain and winter trade wind induced orographic rainfall, and hence d18O at Flores. Water isotope-enabled climate models show that similar relationships between ITCZ positioning and rainfall d18O also prevailed at Flores during the last glacial. Millennial-scale changes in warm pool temperatures (and surface air temperature) were small over the last 23 kyr, thus changes in the d18O of rainfall, rather than temperature, dominate the record
