Abstract
Reconstructed annual net accumulation from the Dasuopu ice core recovered in Himalayas with a good correlation to Indian monsoon reflects a major precipitation trend in central Himalayas The Dasuopu accumulation DSP An also shows a strong correlation to the Northern Hemispheric temperature Generally as the Northern Hemispheric temperature increases by 01 K the accumulation decreases by about 90 mm and vise versa Under the condition of global warming especially since 1920 the Northern Hemispheric mean temperature has increased by about 05 K whereas accumulation in Dasuopu ice core has decreased by about 450 mm According to the relationship between accumulation and temperature a scenario prediction of monsoon rainfall in central Himalayas is made
