Last nine-thousand years of temperature variability in northern Europe

analyzed using "old" method (Schouten et al., 2013; 10.1002/2013GC004904) that does not distinguish 5- and 6-methyl isomers

large reservoir correction means age model highly uncertain, interpret only broad trends, not details. Proxy may be biased to different seasons at different times in the Holocene.

14C year reservoir correction to subtract from 14C age before calculating age model, reservoir age for upper portion inferred by matching with 210Pb ages for surface of the core and then extrapolating to depth.  Reservoir age for lower portion of the core inferred by subtracting extrapolated age from the surface and deep ages (see original publication for explanation: 10.1017/qua.2017.9)

Variable name changed from 14C age uncertainty to 1SD during update from DKs csv files.

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Mean annual air temperature (MAAT) and precipitation isotope records for the Holocene were obtained from the analysis of the relative distribution of branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers and compound-specific hydrogen isotope ratios of leaf waxes from a sediment core from Aweng Co on the western Tibetan Plateau (WTP). Our results indicate that the Indian monsoon mainly influenced Aweng Co during the Holocene. During the early Holocene, when summer insolation was at a maximum, the monsoonal influence was strong and the climate was warm and wet. Both the summer and winter insolation were relatively weak, and Aweng Co was cool and dry during the middle Holocene (6–3 ka), indicating a weakening of the Indian monsoon. The southward displacement of the Intertropical Convergence Zone and relatively low atmospheric methane content may have contributed to the middle Holocene cooling on the WTP. During the late Holocene, with a further increase in winter insolation and decrease in summer insolation, the summer monsoon weakened and the MAAT on the WTP gradually increased. Depleted leaf wax hydrogen isotope ratios during the late Holocene can be attributed to accelerated glacier melting because of the elevated MAAT.</jats:p>
