abstract = {The Southern Hemisphere Westerlies (SHW) play a crucial
role in large-scale ocean circulation and global carbon
cycling. Accordingly, the reconstruction of how the
latitudinal position and intensity of the SHW belt changed
during the last glacial termination is essential for
understanding global climatic fluctuations. The southernmost
part of the South American continent is the only continental
mass intersecting a large part of the SHW belt. However, due
to the scarcity of suitable palaeoclimate archives
continuous proxy records back to the last glacial are rare
in southern Patagonia. Here, we show an oxygen isotope
record from cellulose and purified bulk organic matter of
submerged aquatic moss shoots from Laguna Potrok Aike (52°
S, 70° W), a deep maar lake located in semi-arid,
extra-Andean Patagonia, covering the last
glacial–interglacial transition (26 000 to 8500 cal BP).
Based on the highly significant correlation between oxygen
isotope values of modern aquatic mosses and their host
waters and abundant well-preserved moss remains in the
sediment record a high-resolution reconstruction of the lake
water oxygen isotope (δ18Olw-corr) composition is
presented. The reconstructed δ18Olw-corr values for the
last glacial are ca. 3‰ lower than modern values, which
can best be explained by generally cooler air temperatures
and changes in the moisture source area, together with the
occurrence of permafrost leading to a prolonged lake water
residence time. Thus, the overall glacial δ18Olw-corr level
until 21 000 cal BP is consistent with a scenario of
weakened or absent SHW at 52° S compared to the present.
During the last deglaciation, reconstructed δ18Olw-corr
values reveal a significant two-step rise describing the
detailed response of the lake's hydrological balance to this
fundamental climatic shift. Rapid warming is seen as the
cause of the first rise of ca. $2\&permil,$ in δ18Olw-corr
during the first two millennia of deglaciation (17 600 to 15
600 cal BP) owing to more 18O enriched precipitation and
increasing temperature-induced evaporation. Following this
interpretation, an early strengthening of the SHW would not
be necessary. The subsequent decrease in δ18Olw-corr by up
to 0.7‰ marks a millennial-scale transition period between
15 600 and 14 600 cal BP interpreted as the transition from
a system driven by temperature-induced evaporation to a
system more dominated by wind-induced evaporation. The
δ18Olw-corr record resumes its pronounced increase around
14 600 cal BP. This further cumulative enrichment in 18O of
lake water could be interpreted as response to strengthened
wind-driven evaporation as induced by the intensification
and establishment of the SHW at the latitude of Laguna
Potrok Aike (52° S) since 14 600 cal BP. δ18Olw-corr
approaching modern values around 8500 cal BP reflect that
the SHW exerted their full influence on the lake water
balance at that time provoking a prevailing more arid steppe
climate in the Laguna Potrok Aike region.},
