“Leads, lags, or synchronies in past climatic events provide insights into causal linkages. This paper demonstrates the Lateglacial interstadial began two centuries earlier in the Lake Suigetsu region of Japan compared to Greenland. Bimodal migration of the westerly jet between north and south of the Tibetan Plateau may have been responsible for abrupt deglacial warming in Asia.”
