Weighted mean annual ?18O value for the period from 1988?1996 was ?7.0?, with more neg- ative   in summer months (average ~ ?9.5?, SMOW) and more positive ?18O in winter months (average ~ ?4.5?, SMOW). Therefore, more negative ?18O values are consistent with a greater contribution of summer rainfall

East Asian summer monsoon strength; more negative values of d18O are interpreted as indicative of increased monsoon precipitation
