interpretation
1

basis: Instrumental calibration. A negative correlation between I´18O of precipitation and the amount of precipitation is observed in tropical regions including the Himalaya, which is termed as the a€˜amount effecta€™ (AraguA¡s-AraguA¡s et al., 1998; Dansgaard, 1964; Yadava and Ramesh, 2005).

mathematicalRelation: linear

scope: climate

seasonality: Jun-Sep

variable: precipitation

variableDetail: Seasonal

variableGroup: P_amount, RH, T_air, P_E

2

basis: Our interpretation of the temperature signal in the δ18O chronology is that higher temperatures stimulate evaporation of soil water, resulting in a preferential loss of lighter isotopes in soil water, which in turn is taken up by trees.

variableOriginal: temperature

3

basis: More specifically, lower atmospheric humidity causes higher vapor pressure gradient between leaf interstitial space and the atmosphere, resulting in a preferential loss of lighter isotopes and consequent enrichment in δ18O of leaf water.

mathematicalRelation: linear

rank: 1

scope: climate

seasonality: Jun-Sep

variable: effectivePrecipitation

variableDetail: surface relative humidity

variableGroup: relative humdity

4

basis: Since all the responses of tree-ring δ18O to the climatic factors (precipitation, relative humidity, and temperature) are related to dry–wet conditions, the PDSI is considered to be the most useful single variable to explain the variance of our δ18O chronology.
