✦ Synopsis

Climatologically, monsoon regions are the most convectively active areas on Earth and account for the majority of global atmospheric heat and moisture transport. The most active systems include the Indian, Asian, and Australian monsoons (Fig. 1). Within the tropical Indian and western Paci¢c Oceans, the mass £ux associated with these three monsoon systems (80 Gkg s 31 ) is over twice the mass £ux associated with Paci¢c Ocean Walker Circulation (33 Gkg s 31 ) and over 70% of the total Indo-Paci¢c mass £ux (Webster, 1998). Both modern and paleo studies have demonstrated that monsoon systems are highly variable over annual to orbital time scales (Charles et al.

**ABSTRACT** Basic shallowing‐upward cycles (shu‐cycles) and five‐bundled megacycles in the Latemar platform have been widely regarded as a model example for precessional and eccentricity forcing in the Mesozoic. Based on bio‐/chronostratigraphic data, recent studies questioned this particular type
