  abstract = {{V}ariations of {A}tlantic and {I}ndian monsoon systems since the last glacial period are investigated by comparing eolian fluxes from two marine cores ({ODP} site 658 off western {A}frica and core 74{KL} off the {A}rabian peninsula) with 2147 hydrological records (lacustrine, palustrine, spring and fluvial, arid) gathered over a large continental area extending between 10 and 30 degrees {N} across {A}frica, {A}rabia and western {I}ndia. {W}e show that the hydrological response to the {H}olocene humid phase in the northern tropics strongly differs from a region to another. {T}he humid period is significantly shorter in the {A}rabian peninsula and the horn of {A}frica compared to northern {A}frica even though its maximum is contemporaneous (11,000-7,000 cal yr {BP}). {W}estern {I}ndia displays a specific hydrological signal characterized by the importance of well-developed fluvial systems from the {H}imalayas and the paucity of lakes compared to the other regions. {I}n western {I}ndia, the humid peak is shifted toward the mid {H}olocene (8,000-6,000 cal yr {BP}). {B}oth marine records show a peak between similar to 11,000 and 7,000 cal yr {BP} for the {H}olocene humid period, in good accordance with {A}frican-{A}rabian records. {H}owever, while continental hydrological data suggest that the onset and termination of this humid period might have been relatively progressive, the marine windborne records indicate abrupt transitions, somewhat out-of-phase with continental evidence (e.g. abrupt decrease of aeolian proxies as early as similar to 15,000 cal yr {BP}). {D}iscrepancies between marine and continental likely result from the fact that aeolian fluxes at a given marine location do not simply record monsoon-related changes of humidity over the adjacent continental sources but could be affected also by changes of the source area (e.g., emersion of the {A}rabo-{P}ersian gulf associated to the glacial, low sea-level stand), and changes in wind intensity and/or direction.},
