Rocky Mountain hydroclimate: Holocene variability and the role of insolation, ENSO, and the North American Monsoon

Drought periods (i.e., drier winters and/or a more rain-dominated seasonal precipitation balance) generally correspond with higher calcite d18O values, and vice-versa;although lake-water values are currently observed to change  through the ice-free season from ?16.7? to ?13.5? (n= 10),  the late summer values are artificially elevated (inset of Fig. 3.).  The lower, early summer values are similar to average weighted  precipitation-?18O, and similar to values inferred from near-surface  calcite-?18O prior to 1953 (see Fig. 3 in Anderson, 2011). It is on  this basis that variations in through-flowing Bison Lake water-?18O are interpreted as precipitation-?18O and changes in the ratio of the seasonal precipitation balance between snowfall-dominated  ?18O) and rainfall-dominated (higher ?18O).
