A local relationship between annual rainfall amount and its amount-weighed δ 18 O composition exists on interannual timescales, driven mostly by an amount effect during summer and spring seasons, and by an isotopically depleted composition of fall and winter precipitation. Based on a novel interpretation of modern rainfall isotopic data, stalagmite δ 18 O variability is interpreted to reflect the relative contribution of summer and spring precipitation combined relative to combined fall and winter precipitation. Precipitation amount in the SE US increases during the Younger Dryas, the 8.2 ka and Little Ice Age abrupt cooling events. High precipitation during these events reflects enhancement of spring and summer precipitation while the contribution of fall and winter rainfall remained unchanged or decreased slightly. Results from this study support model simulation results that suggest increased precipitation in the SE US during Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) slowdown/shutdown (LeGrande et al., 2006; Renssen et al., 2002; Vellinga and Wood, 2002). In association with Northern Hemisphere mid-latitude cooling from the Early to mid-Holocene, annual precipitation in the SE US decreases, a pattern distinctive from that observed during abrupt cooling events related to AMOC shifts. Long-term hydroclimate change in the SE US is likely sensitive to summer insolation reduction as inferred for other tropical and subtropical regions. This study has implications for our understanding of the sensitivity of subtropical hydroclimate to factors both internal and external to the climate system in a warmer climate.

The X axis represents the fractional change in precipitation amount from modern conditions; 1= 100% increase or a doubling of precipitation amount, and -1=100% decline in precipitation amount. Blue line represents the expected decadal average δ18O composition shift from changing the amount of precipitation during ‘winter’ from -100% (no precipitation) to plus 100% (doubling) while keeping ‘summer’ precipitation amount constant. Dark orange line, represents the expected decadal average δ18O composition shift from changing the amount of precipitation during ‘summer’ keeping ‘winter’ precipitation amount constant. These calculations include the amount effect relationship during the summer and spring seasons observed today. A decrease in ‘summer’ precipitation increases the decadal average δ18O composition of rainfall, because of the inverse relationship between precipitation amount and precipitation δ18O during the summer and spring, up to the point when the decline of ‘summer’ precipitation amount and its relatively positive isotopic composition “enhances” the influence of the depleted isotopic composition that characterizes ‘winter’ precipitation (shown in plot section as “ ‘winter’ isotopic composition dominates”). The maximum positive isotopic shift produced from a reduction in ‘summer’ precipitation amount per se, keeping ‘winter’ precipitation constant, is 0.21‰ associated with a 40% precipitation amount reduction. A larger decrease in ‘summer’ precipitation amount no longer increases the isotopic composition of rainfall, because as mentioned above the depleted isotopic composition of winter begins to dominate. On the other hand, because there is no relationship between precipitation amount and precipitation δ18O during ‘winter’ and there is an amount effect during summer, an increase in ‘winter’ precipitation has a much modest effect that an increase in ‘summer’ precipitation amount on rainfall δ18O. A doubling in the amount of ‘winter’ precipitation is expected to decrease the decadal average δ18O composition of rainfall by 0.24‰, whereas a doubling in ‘summer’ precipitation amount would decrease the δ18O of rainfall by 1.4‰.","description":"","filename":"Fig3.jpg","url":"https://assets-eu.researchsquare.com/files/rs-152650/v2/8f11357eabad5ef728229584.jpg"},{"id":7215046,"identity":"1df82bb0-039d-4915-a09f-97026d0cd2a2","added_by":"auto","created_at":"2021-03-22 13:37:03","extension":"jpg","order_by":4,"title":"Figure 4","display":"","copyAsset":false,"role":"figure","size":583506,"visible":true,"origin":"","legend":"Blow up comparing the NGRIP ice core d18O record (panel A) (Rasmussen et al., 2006), the Ti% record from the Cariaco Basin, offshore Venezuela (panel B) (Haug et al., 2001) and the WE stalagmite d18O record (panel C, this study) over the Younger Dryas time interval.
