Description :
The AA. present a high-resolution study of the variability of eolian quartz flux (EQF), a proxy for Asian dust, carried during the last 6500 yr by northwesterly winter monsoonal winds from sources in the inner part of China to Cheju Island, Korea. The AA. examine the paleoclimatic implications of these data and their significance for the Sun-monsoon linkage during the mid to late Holocene. The centennial scale variability in EQF may be affected by the solar activity through the East Asian monsoon linkage.
