Features: This book starts from the current status and fundamental issues of paleoclimatic dynamics research both domestically and internationally, systematically introducing the basic principles and methods for establishing paleolake databases. It covers the basic content and latest research findings of the Chinese Late Quaternary lake database, the water-heat balance model, paleoprecipitation estimation, as well as the operation and control experiments of regional and global atmospheric circulation models. Through simulations of the Late Quaternary paleoclimate and utilizing regional lake water volume data, the book compares and validates the paleoclimate simulation results for 21 ka BP and 6 ka BP. Additionally, it provides dynamic interpretations of the climatic characteristics of different regions based on atmospheric circulation patterns and moisture transport pathways. During the global climate simulation process, the paleovegetation conditions of China are forced input, enhancing the simulation's accuracy. The book concludes by introducing the results of paleoclimate simulations, along with comparisons with geological data and international models, and discusses relevant issues in the development of paleoclimatic dynamics. This book serves as a reference for professionals, graduate students, and researchers in climatology, paleoclimatology, Quaternary geology, and related fields.
