Geologic evidence and general circulation model experiments                show that the monsoon climates respond very strongly to                         insolation changes induced by orbital variations.  Pleoclimate                  data from northeast Asia and northwest Pacific Ocean suggest that               these terrestrial and marine environments, influenced by                        northeast Asian monsoon, respond to global climate changes in a                 complex way that varies temporally and geographically.  Using                   high resolution terrestrial, marine, and atmospheric climatic                   information generated from analyses of pollen, radiolaria, oxygen               isotopes, and mineralogy of sediments from marine cores, the                    regional response to late Pleistocene climate variations will be                examnined.  The changes in the intensity and duration of the                    northeast Asian monsoon through two complete glaciation to                      deglaciation cycles will be determined.  This work is important                 because it will enable construction of an empirically based                     conceptual model of northeast Asian monsoon; an independent model               to compare with simulations based on numerical general                          circulation models.
