| Abstract | Speleothem calcite stable oxygen isotope (delta O-18(C)) is one of the most widely used proxies in paleoclimate research, and understanding its seasonal-annual variability is very significant for palaeoclimate reconstruction. Five-year precipitation and karst cave water from 2016 to 2021 were monitored in Shennong cave, Jiangxi Province, Southeast China. The local meteoric water line (LMWL) is delta D = 8.20 x delta O-18 + 13.34, which is similar to the global meteoric water line. The stable hydrogen and oxygen isotope (delta D and delta O-18) characteristics of precipitation and cave water were studied. delta O-18 and delta D of precipitation and cave water show obvious seasonal variations. Lower precipitation delta O-18 and delta D generally occur during summer and autumn compared with higher delta O-18 and delta D values during winter and spring. Meanwhile, low precipitation delta O-18 values do not only appear in June-July when precipitation is the highest of the year but also appear in August-September when precipitation is limited. The back-trajectory analysis of monsoon precipitation moisture sources shows that the moisture uptake regions vary little on inter-annual scales; the water vapor of rainfall in June-July comes from the South China Sea and the Bay of Bengal, while the moisture source in August-September is mainly from the West Pacific and local area. The El Nino-Southern Oscillation is an important factor affecting the value of delta O-18 by modulating the percentage of summer monsoon precipitation in the annual precipitation and moisture source. The relationship between amount-weighted monthly mean precipitation delta O-18 and Nino-3.4 index shows that the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) intensifies during La Nina phases, resulting in more precipitation in monsoon season (May to September, MJJAS) and lower delta O-18 values, and vice versa during El Nino phases. |
