Speleothem CaCO<sub>3</sub> δ<sup>18</sup>O is a commonly employed paleomonsoon proxy. However, inferring local rainfall amount from speleothem δ<sup>18</sup>O can be complicated due to changing source water δ<sup>18</sup>O, temperature effects, and rainout over the moisture transport path. These complications are addressed using δ<sup>18</sup>O of planktonic foraminiferal CaCO<sub>3</sub>, offshore from the Yangtze River Valley (YRV). The advantage is that the effects of global seawater δ<sup>1 ...[more]
