Decreasing Indian summer monsoon in northern Indian sub-continent during the last 180 years: evidence from five tree cellulose oxygen isotope chronologies

Xu, C., Sano, M., Dimri, A., Ramesh, R., Nakatsuka, T., Shi, F. and Guo, Z.: Decreasing Indian summer monsoon in northern Indian sub-continent during the last 180 years: evidence from five tree cellulose oxygen isotope chronologies, https://doi.org/10.5194/cp-14-653-2018

The modified plate method (Kagawa et al., 2015; Xu et al., 2011, 2013b), based on the chemical treatment procedure of the Jayme–Wise method (Green, 1963; Loader et al., 1997), was used to extract alpha-cellulose. Oxygen isotope ratios  were measured using an isotope ratio mass spectrometer (Delta V Advantage, Thermo Scientific) interfaced with a pyrolysis-type high-temperature conversion elemental analyzer (TC/EA, Thermo Scientific) at the Research Institute for Humanity and Nature, Japan.

OCh: replaced to P_E (precipitation_Evaporation, PDSI) Soil water replaced to Leaf water

PDSI reflects the soil moisture stress which is an integrated effect of the precipitation and temperature

tree-ring cellulose d18O record, average of 5 Liriodendron tulipifera trees

Higher vapor pressure deficit (lower RH) results in leaf water 18O enrichment, which results in higher tree-ring d18O values

tree-ring cellulose d18O record, average of 5 Quercus rubra trees

Site-averaged latewood d18O record representing 5 Liriodendron tulipifera trees, and site-averaged latewood d18O record representing 5 Quercus rubra trees.
