摘要
This paper attempts to review the progress, especially high revolution studies on the last 200 ka in the SCS,mainly relating to changes in sea surface temperature, salinity, productivity, and the upper ocean structure, as well as paleo-monsoon records.Many SCS planktonic δ18O curves show different features from the global SPECMAP δ18O standard, with relatively low peaks at MIS5.5 and MIS7.3, but high peaks at MIS3.3 and MIS6.5, and can be called “monsoon-type planktonic δ18O curves”. In addition, the complete records of rapid climate change events also reveal an important role played by tropical regions in rapid climate change.
