Weakening of annual temperature cycle over the Tibetan Plateau since the 1870s

Weakening of the Tibetan Plateau’s annual temperature cycle has been observed in recent decades, yet the long-term context remains unknown. Here, the authors reconstruct a 300-year temperature record from tree-ring width and maximum latewood density, which indicates the onset of weakening as early a...
