AB - Sediments in the Arabian Sea provide biological, biogeochemical and lithogenic evidence of past changes in the Indian Ocean summer monsoon winds. For the past 350,000 years, this system has been externally forced by cyclical changes in solar radiation, and internally phase-locked to the transport of latent heat from the southern subtropical Indian Ocean to the Tibetan Plateau. In contrast to the results of general circulation models, these geological data suggest that the climate change associated with variability in global ice volume is not a primary factor in determining the strength and timing of the monsoon winds.
