AB  - A high-resolution multiproxy record, including pollen, foraminifera, and alkenone 
      paleothermometry, obtained from a single core (DG9603) from the Okinawa Trough, 
      East China Sea (ECS), provided unambiguous evidence for asynchronous climate 
      change between the land and ocean over the past 40 ka. On land, the deglacial 
      stage was characterized by rapid warming, as reflected by paleovegetation, and it 
      began ca. 15 kaBP, consistent with the timing of the last deglacial warming in 
      Greenland. However, sea surface temperature estimates from foraminifera and 
      alkenone paleothermometry increased around 20-19 kaBP, as in the Western Pacific 
      Warm Pool (WPWP). Sea surface temperatures in the Okinawa Trough were influenced 
      mainly by heat transport from the tropical western Pacific Ocean by the Kuroshio 
      Current, but the epicontinental vegetation of the ECS was influenced by 
      atmospheric circulation linked to the northern high-latitude climate. 
      Asynchronous terrestrial and marine signals of the last deglacial warming in East 
      Asia were thus clearly related to ocean currents and atmospheric circulation. We 
      argue that (i) early warming seawater of the WPWP, driven by low-latitude 
      insolation and trade winds, moved northward via the Kuroshio Current and 
      triggered marine warming along the ECS around 20-19 kaBP similar to that in the 
      WPWP, and (ii) an almost complete shutdown of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning 
      Circulation ca. 18-15 kaBP was associated with cold Heinrich stadial-1 and 
      delayed terrestrial warming during the last deglacial warming until ca. 15 kaBP 
      at northern high latitudes, and hence in East Asia. Terrestrial deglacial warming 
      therefore lagged behind marine changes by ca. 3-4 ka.
