Notes from the SISAL database: Although Publication supplied precision of d18O as 0.06 permil, this has been entered as 0.07 permil for both d13C and d18O as following Breitenbach and Bernasconi (2011) (DOI: 10.1002/rcm.5052). Decay constants could either be Cheng et al. 2000 or Cheng et al. 2013. The age model for the speleothem is based on a parabolic curve fit to the 230Th dates and the collection date. There are 15 repeated interp_age which were adjusted by 0.0001. ABSTRACT SUPPLIED BY ORIGINATOR: Approximately half of the world's population lives in the tropics, and future changes in the hydrological cycle will impact not just the freshwater supplies but also energy production in areas dependent upon hydroelectric power. It is vital that we understand the mechanisms/processes that affect tropical precipitation and the eventual surface hydrological response to better assess projected future regional precipitation trends and variability. Paleo-climate proxies are well suited for this purpose as they provide long time series that pre-date and complement the present, often short instrumental observations. Here we present paleo-precipitation data from a speleothem located in Mesoamerica that reveal large multi-decadal declines in regional precipitation, whose onset coincides with clusters of large volcanic eruptions during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This reconstruction provides new independent evidence of long-lasting volcanic effects on climate and elucidates key aspects of the causal chain of physical processes determining the tropical climate response to global radiative forcing.
