Download or read book Temperature Reconstruction at the West Antarctic Ice Sheet Divide, for the Last Millennium, from the Combination of Borehole Temperature and Inert Gas Isotope Measurements written by Anais J. Orsi and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of past climates informs us on the causes, amplitude and mechanisms of climate change, which is necessary to our ability to predict future changes, and build the necessary infrastructure to ensure the resilience of our society to these changes. Local climate records contain both large scale and local signals, from both external forcing, such as radiative forcing, and internal climate variability. In order to understand the response of the climate system to global drivers, we must average out the local signals into hemispheric or global variables. This process has been difficult because we lack the spatial coverage in large areas of the Earth, including the oceans, and much of the Southern Hemisphere. The work presented here aims at improving our knowledge of the climate by producing a new temperature time series from the center of West Antarctica for the last 1000 years, a region previously unexplored. This temperature reconstruction is based on a new method, combining borehole temperature measurements with inert gas isotopes from the WAIS-Divide ice cores into a single inverse problem. Borehole temperature measurements constrain the long term changes in the climate, while inert gas isotopes record decadal to centennial scale changes. Together, they produce a temperature estimate that is independent of the traditional water isotope proxy [Delta]18O of ice, and provide a way to calibrate it. WAIS-Divide experienced a long term cooling trend from 950 to 1850 A.D., which ended abruptly by warming by 2.3°C in 30 years. More recently, WAIS-Divide has been warming by more than 1.5°C since 1957, which refutes the idea that Antarctica would not experience the current warming seen elsewhere. The long term cooling trend was superimposed on centennial scale variations in the climate, including two warming events, notably between 1315 and 1395 A.D., 1596 and 1626 A.D., with a warming rate of 0.24 and 0.32°C/decade. This evidence shows that the current rate of warming at WAIS-Divide, of 0.23°C/decade for the last 50 years is rare but not unprecedented. This record is consistent with the idea that the decrease in solar radiation from 1400 to 1800 A.D. induced widespread cooling in mid and high latitudes of both hemispheres.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Antarctic Research Series, Volume 79. The Antarctic Peninsula region represents our best natural laboratory to investigate how earth's major climate systems interact and how such systems respond to rapid regional warming. The scale of environmental changes now taking place across the region is large and their pace rapid but the subsystems involved are still small enough to observe and accurately document cause and affect mechanisms. For example, clarification of ice shelf stability via the Larsen Ice Shelf is vital to understanding the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet, its climate evolution, and its response to and control of sea level. By encompassing the broadest range of interdisciplinary studies, this volume provides the global change research and educational communities a framework in which to advance our knowledge of the causes behind regional warming, the dramatic glacial and ecological responses, and the potential uniqueness of the event within the region's paleoclimate record. The volume also serves as a vital resource for public policy and governmental funding agencies as well as a means to educate the large number of ecotourists that visit the region each austral summer.

This book was released on 2013-08 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 50 years of observations from climate stations on the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula show that this is a region of extreme interannual variability in near-surface temperatures. The region has also experienced more rapid warming than any other part of the Southern Hemisphere. In this paper we use a new dataset of satellite-derived surface temperatures to define the extent of the region of extreme variability more clearly than was possible using the sparse station data. The region in which satellite surface temperatures correlate strongly with west Peninsula station temperatures is found to be quite small and is largely confined to the seas just west of the Peninsula, with a northward and eastward extension into the Scotia Sea and a southward extension onto the western slopes of Palmer Land. Correlation of Peninsula surface temperatures with surface temperatures over the rest of continental Antarctica is poor confirming that the west Peninsula is in a different climate regime. The analysis has been used to identify sites where ice core proxy records might be representative of variations on the west coast of the Peninsula. Of the five existing core sites examined, only one is likely to provide a representative record for the west coast.

This book was released on 2017-04-24 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sea ice surrounding Antarctica has increased in extent and concentration from the late 1970s, when satellite-based measurements began, until 2015. Although this increasing trend is modest, it is surprising given the overall warming of the global climate and the region. Indeed, climate models, which incorporate our best understanding of the processes affecting the region, generally simulate a decrease in sea ice. Moreover, sea ice in the Arctic has exhibited pronounced declines over the same period, consistent with global climate model simulations. For these reasons, the behavior of Antarctic sea ice has presented a conundrum for global climate change science. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a workshop in January 2016, to bring together scientists with different sets of expertise and perspectives to further explore potential mechanisms driving the evolution of recent Antarctic sea ice variability and to discuss ways to advance understanding of Antarctic sea ice and its relationship to the broader ocean-climate system. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
