DOI: 10.1029/2022GL102404 Locations of Xifeng (XF) and Zhenyuan (ZHY) loess profiles on the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP). Black circles denote four loess profiles investigated in previous studies (Hao et al., 2012 ; Li et al., 2021 ; Sun et al., 2010 ). Black circles denote the locations of Sanbao and Dongge caves from the southern China (Cheng et al., 2009 2016 ; Wang et al., 2008 ). The researchers found that concurrent abrupt shifts occurred in the EAWM and East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) during glacial inceptions.
