This study presents new evidence for long-term variability in the late Holocene North American Monsoon (NAM), Pacific coast of Mexico. We have carried out a rock magnetic study on two deep-sea sediment cores from the Pacific coast Pescadero Basin. The magnetic intensities estimate total magnetic material and are a proxy for total clastic sediment. Ratios of magnetic intensities estimate the grain size of magnetic material. The rock magnetic data show a decimeter scale, multi-decadal oscillation with fourteen cycles (A-N) over the last 1200 years. These oscillations reflect alternating intervals of stronger/coarser magnetic/clastic flux to the coastal ocean and intervals of weaker/finer magnetic flux. We think these variations are caused by variations in long-term dominance of the NAM; summer (wet) monsoons produce rainy conditions (with runoff) while winter (dry) monsoons produce significant offshore winds, increased upwelling/biological productivity. We can correlate our variability to two other published studies southeast of Pescadero Basin, coastal lake sediments in Laguna de Juanacatlan and a Juxtlahuaca Cave stalagmite. Both of these studies estimate local rainfall. We see evidence of the same pattern of multi-decadal rainfall-runoff variability in these records as we see in Pescadero Basin, which is synchronous to within ±25 years over the last 1200 years. The multi-dacadal pattern of hydrologic variability in all three records varies in cycle duration from ~90-years wet/dry cycles in the Little Ice Age (1400–1850 AD) to ~60-years cycles in the Medieval Climate Optimum (1100–1400 AD). This variability in cycle duration suggests some chaotic nature to the regional NAM climate pattern or some long-term non-linear forcing (PDO?).
