Today’s Highlights
A paleoclimate study in Geophysical Research Letters reveals that ENSO acted as an atmospheric teleconnection pathway linking East Asian Summer Monsoon runoff variability to Cordilleran Ice Sheet discharge events during Marine Isotope Stage 3. Using high-resolution South China Sea sediment records and climate model simulations, the authors show that La Niña–like conditions intensified monsoon precipitation and poleward heat transport, simultaneously driving runoff into the South China Sea and promoting ice sheet melting.

Understanding the mechanisms linking low‐latitude monsoon variability and high‐latitude ice‐sheet discharge is critical for elucidating past atmospheric teleconnections, yet direct evidence for such linkages during the last glacial period remains limited. Here we present a high‐resolution terrigenous input record from the South China Sea (SCS) core XB1 covering the past ∼50 ka, which reflects East Asian Summer Monsoon (EASM) variability. Abrupt increases in terrigenous input during Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 3 coincide with CIS discharge events (Siku events). Integrated proxy evidence and climate model simulations indicate that El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) likely mediated this linkage: under La Niña‐like conditions, intensified EASM precipitation enhanced runoff into the northern SCS, while a strengthened North Pacific Subtropical High (NPSH) facilitated poleward heat transport, promoting CIS melting. These results suggest that ENSO provided an important atmospheric pathway linking low‐ and high‐latitude climate variability during MIS 3.
