Role of winter monsoon on the flux of planktonic foraminifera and it :implications on paleoclimatology and paleoceanography

Abstract

The onset of the winter monsoon (late October-November) is responsoble for the planktic foraminifera flux peak during November. This may help to interpret abnormally high abundance of planktic foraminifera, which has paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental implications in the specific core intervals of the East Sea.
