Earth and Planetary Science Letters
1. Atlantic meridional overturning circulation and the prediction of North Atlantic sea surface temperature
M. Klöwer, M. Latif, H. Ding, R.J. Greatbatch, W. Park
DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2014.09.001
•North Atlantic sea surface temperature exhibits high decadal predictability potential.
•Model bias hinders exploiting the decadal predictability potential.
•An innovative method was developed to overcome some of the bias problem.
•North Atlantic sea surface temperature will stay anomalously warm until about 2030.

6. An 8700 year paleoclimate reconstruction from the southern Maya lowlands
David Wahl, Roger Byrne, Lysanna Anderson
DOI: 10.1016/j.quascirev.2014.08.004
•We present an 8700 yr paleoclimate reconstruction from the southern Maya lowlands.
•Shift from wet mid-Holocene to dry late Holocene around 5000 BP.
•Millennial climate variability tied to orbital forcing.
•Increased importance of Pacific influence on Yucatan climate during the Late Holocene climate.
•Period of prehispanic agricultural activity limited to relatively dry conditions during the late Holocene.

7. A 9000-year carbon isotopic record of acid-soluble organic matter in a stalagmite from Heshang Cave, central China: Paleoclimate implications
Xiuli Li, Chaoyong Hu, Junhua Huang, Shucheng Xie, Andy Baker
DOI: 10.1016/j.chemgeo.2014.08.029
•Carbon isotope of acid-soluble organic matter (ASOM) in a laminated stalagmite, central China
•A high resolution of δ13CASOM spanning the last 9 ky
•δ13CASOM show a different trend with that of the inorganic carbon in the same stalagmite
•δ13CASOM sequence mainly controlled by temperature and water balance
