The oxygen isotopes in speleothem carbonate (δ18Oca) have been widely used to study the past changes in monsoonal precipitation, whereas the role of calcite formation temperature remains elusive. With recent analytical advancements, the δ18Oca coupled with oxygen and hydrogen isotopes in speleothem fluid inclusions (δ18Ofi and δDfi) offer great potential for reconstructing past air temperatures. Here we present a record of δ18Ofi and δDfi analyzed in HSN1 stalagmite from Hoshino Cave at Minami-Daito Island situated in Okinawa prefecture around the Northwestern Pacific. A robust age model was established with precise U-Th ages between 6.0 to 7.4 thousand years before the present (where the present is 1950 AD). The high-growth rate of HSN1 stalagmite (180 μm/yr) enabled us to study the past changes in precipitation and temperature with a high temporal resolution. The reconstructed air temperature shows strong multidecadal variability during the mid-Holocene. We compared our results with regional and global paleo-proxy records to identify the different forcings and teleconnections. Multiproxy data show a 65-year cycle related to the variability in the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) and the multidecadal AMO-Western Pacific teleconnection.
