Abstract. The ~74 ka Toba eruption was one of the largest volcanic events of the Quaternary. There is much interest in determining the impact of such a huge event, particularly on the climate and hominid populations at the time. Although the Toba eruption has been identified in both land and marine archives as the Youngest Toba Tuff, its precise place in the ice core record is ambiguous. Multiple volcanic sulfate signals have been identified in both Antarctic and Greenland ice cores within the uncertainty of age estimates as possible events for the Toba eruption. We measure sulfur isotope compositions in Antarctic ice samples at high temporal resolution across 11 of these potential Toba sulfate peaks in two cores to identify candidates with sulfur mass-independent fractionation (S-MIF), indicative of an eruption whose plume reached altitudes at or above the ozone layer in the stratosphere. Using this method, we identify several candidate sulfate peaks that contain stratospheric sulfur. We further narrow down potential candidates based on the isotope signatures by identifying sulfate peaks that are due to a volcanic event at tropical latitudes. In one of these sulfate peaks at 73.67 ka, we find the largest ever reported magnitude of S-MIF in volcanic sulfate in polar ice, with a Δ33S value of −4.75 ‰. As there is a positive correlation between the magnitude of the S-MIF signal recorded in ice cores and eruptive plume height, this could be a likely candidate for the Toba supereruption, with a plume height in excess of 45 km. These results support the 73.7 ± 0.3 ka (1σ) ka Ar/Ar age estimate for the eruption, with ice core ages of our candidates with the largest magnitude S-MIF at 73.67 and 73.74 ka. Finally, since these candidate eruptions occurred on the transition into Greenland Stadial 20, the relative timing suggests that Toba was not the trigger for the large Northern Hemisphere cooling at this time although we cannot rule out an amplifying effect.
摘要~74 ka多巴火山喷发是第四纪最大的火山事件之一。人们对确定这样一个巨大事件的影响非常感兴趣,特别是对当时的气候和人类种群的影响。虽然多巴火山喷发在陆地和海洋档案中都被确定为最年轻的多巴凝灰岩,但它在冰芯记录中的确切位置是模糊的。在年龄估计的不确定性范围内,在南极和格陵兰冰芯中发现了多个火山硫酸盐信号,这些信号可能是多巴火山爆发的事件。我们以高时间分辨率测量了两个岩芯中11个潜在多巴硫酸盐峰的南极冰样品中的硫同位素组成,以确定具有硫质量无关分馏(S-MIF)的候选物,表明其喷发的羽流达到平流层中臭氧层的高度或以上。利用这种方法,我们确定了几个含有平流层硫的候选硫酸盐峰。我们根据同位素特征进一步缩小了潜在的候选范围,通过识别由于热带纬度火山事件引起的硫酸盐峰。在其中一个73.67 ka的硫酸盐峰中,我们发现极地冰中火山硫酸盐S-MIF的最大量级,其Δ33S值为- 4.75‰。由于在冰芯中记录的S-MIF信号的强度与喷发的羽流高度之间存在正相关关系,这可能是多巴超级喷发的一个可能的候选,羽流高度超过45公里。这些结果支持73.7±0.3 ka (1σ) ka Ar/Ar年龄的估计,其中S-MIF等最大的候选冰芯年龄分别为73.67和73.74 ka。最后,由于这些候选喷发发生在向格陵兰Stadial 20过渡的时候,相对时间表明多巴火山并不是当时北半球大规模降温的触发因素,尽管我们不能排除放大效应的可能性。

Abstract. The East Asian winter monsoon is characterized by a strong east–west surface pressure gradient and the outbreak of cold air around Japan. It causes heavy snowfall in the Sea of Japan side of the Japanese Islands. Meanwhile, fine weather prevails over the Pacific Ocean side owing to topographical effects. Documents pertaining to daily weather in Japan often provide useful weather information regarding the appearance of typical “winter-monsoon-type weather patterns” in the historical period. In addition to historical daily weather documents, we recovered several early pressure observation series in Japan and China from the 19th century. A combined analysis of historical daily weather documents and early surface pressure observation may result in an effective detection of outbreaks arising from the East Asian winter monsoon in the historical period. Knowledge regarding atmospheric circulation fields associated with “winter-monsoon-type weather patterns” is essential for this combined analysis. We first investigate temporal evolutions of circulation fields associated with “winter-monsoon-type weather patterns” for the present day (1968–1980). The result indicates that the southward expansion of the Siberian High and eastward movement of extratropical cyclones around Japan result in a significant east–west surface pressure gradient in East Asia. This pressure gradient causes “winter-monsoon-type weather patterns” in Japan. Subsequently, we attempted to reconstruct the outbreak of the winter monsoon around Japan for the winter of 1851/52 using both historical weather documents and newly recovered early instrumental pressure data of Japan and China. The reconstructed results show that the outbreak of the East Asian winter monsoon can be reasonably detected by focusing on the sequence of reconstructed daily weather patterns and the east–west pressure gradient calculated using early instrumental pressure data.
摘要东亚冬季风以强烈的东西向地面气压梯度和日本周围冷空气的爆发为特征。它在日本群岛的日本海一侧造成了大雪。同时,受地形影响,太平洋一侧天气晴朗。有关日本日常天气的文件通常提供有关历史时期典型的“冬季-季风型天气模式”出现的有用天气信息。除了历史的每日天气资料外,我们还恢复了19世纪以来日本和中国的几个早期气压观测序列。将历史日气象资料与早期地面气压观测相结合,可以有效地发现东亚冬季风在历史时期的爆发。关于与“冬季-季风型天气模式”相关的大气环流场的知识对于这一综合分析至关重要。我们首先研究了当今(1968-1980)与“冬季-季风型天气模式”相关的环流场的时间演变。结果表明,西伯利亚高压南下扩张和日本周边温带气旋东移导致东亚地区出现明显的东西向地面气压梯度。这种气压梯度导致了日本的“冬季季风型天气模式”。随后,我们利用历史气象资料和新恢复的日本和中国的早期仪器压力资料,试图重建1851/52年冬季日本周围冬季季风的爆发。重建结果表明,通过逐日天气模式的重建序列和利用早期仪器气压资料计算的东西压力梯度,可以合理地探测东亚冬季风的爆发。

Abstract. Biomass burning influences global atmospheric chemistry by releasing greenhouse gases and climate-forcing aerosols. There is controversy about the magnitude and timing of Holocene changes in biomass burning emissions from millennial to centennial time scales and, in particular, on the possible impact of ancient civilizations. Here we present a 5 kyr record of fire activity proxies levoglucosan, black carbon and ammonium measured in the RECAP ice core, drilled in the coastal East Greenland and therefore affected by processes occurring in the High North Atlantic Region. Levoglucosan and ammonium fluxes show high levels from 5 to 4.5 kyr followed by an abrupt decline, possibly due to monotonic decline in Northern Hemisphere summer insolation. Levoglucosan and black carbon show an abrupt decline at 1.1 kyr BP (before 2000 AD), suggesting a decline in wildfire regime in the Icelandic territory due to the extensive land clearing caused by Viking colonizers. A minimum is reached at 0.5 kyr BP for all fire proxies, after which levoglucosan and ammonium fluxes increase again, in particular over the last 200 years. We find that the fire regime reconstructed from RECAP fluxes seems mainly related to climatic changes, however over the last millennium human activities might have had a substantial influence controlling the occurrence of fire.
摘要生物质燃烧通过释放温室气体和强迫气候的气溶胶影响全球大气化学。从千年到百年的时间尺度上,关于全新世生物质燃烧排放变化的幅度和时间,特别是古代文明的可能影响,存在争议。在这里,我们展示了在东格陵兰沿海钻探的RECAP冰芯中测量的左旋葡聚糖、黑碳和铵的5 kyr火活动代用物记录,因此受到北大西洋高海拔地区发生的过程的影响。左旋葡聚糖和铵通量在5 ~ 4.5 kyr期间呈高水平,随后突然下降,可能是由于北半球夏季日晒的单调下降。左旋葡聚糖和黑碳在1.1 kyr BP(公元2000年之前)突然下降,这表明由于维京殖民者造成的大面积土地清理,冰岛领土上的野火状况有所下降。所有5种代用物在0.5 kyr BP处达到最小值,此后左旋葡聚糖和铵通量再次增加,特别是在过去200年中。我们发现,由RECAP通量重建的火情似乎主要与气候变化有关,但在过去一千年中,人类活动可能对控制火灾的发生产生了实质性影响。

Abstract. The 4.2 ka event is one of the most salient features of global climate change in the mid-late Holocene and influenced on the evolution of ancient civilizations. Although a lot of paleoclimate reconstructions have focused on it, the detailed structure and driving mechanism of the 4.2 ka event is still unclear. In this study, the variation of Asian summer monsoon (ASM) during 5000–3000 yr BP was reconstructed by using high-precision U-Th dating (average resolution of 7 yr) and multi-proxies (δ13C, δ18O, Ba / Ca, Sr / Ca, Mg / Ca) of stalagmite YK1306 from Yangkou Cave in southwestern China. The results showed that that the ASM weakened and precipitation decreased during 4600–4330 yr BP and 4070–3700 yr BP. During 4330–4070 yr BP, the ASM became strong, and precipitation increased. The multi-proxies variation of YK1306 showed a weak-strong-weak structure of the ASM during the 4.2 ka event, which reappeared in different geologic records. However, westerlies and Australian-Indian summer monsoon (AISM) both showed the opposite change pattern (strong-weak-strong) with the ASM. This was resulted by the different phases of North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) on a centennial scale, which regulated by the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). In positive NAO-like, the strength of Azores high and westerly wind restrained the intensity of ASM. Thus, the ASM and the Middle East regions experienced bimodal drought and increased dust flux from the north in both regions during the 4.2 ka event. The strengthened meridional winds in the westerlies-dominated climatic regime (WDCR) lead more water vapor from the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea transporting to in the WDCR, and subsequently increases precipitation in the WDCR. Meanwhile, the weakening of the AMOC results in the southward migration of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and strengthens the AISM in the southern Hemisphere, finally results in the opposite change of the AISM contrast to the ASM. In addition, the strong ASM in the era of the Chinese Xia Dynasty maybe produce frequent ancient floods, which led to the decline of Longshan and Liangzhu cultures. The weakening of the ASM after 4070 yr BP contributed to the successful regulation of the ancient floodwaters by Dayu in Chinese history. Therefore, it is maybe credible that the official age for the establishment of the Xia Dynasty in 4070 yr BP. Benefit from the comprehensive comparison and analysis based on the unprecedented high-precise chronology, high-resolution and multi-proxy's stalagmite records, this study not only detailed described the evolution of the ASM during the 4.2 ka event, but also is conducive to verify the age of the first dynasty of China (the Xia Dynasty), and the legend of Dayu.
摘要4.2 ka事件是全新世中晚期全球气候变化最显著的特征之一,影响了古代文明的演变。尽管大量的古气候重建都关注于此,但4.2 ka事件的详细结构和驱动机制仍不清楚。本文利用平均分辨率为7年的高精度U-Th定年和杨口洞YK1306石笋的δ13C、δ18O、Ba / Ca、Sr / Ca、Mg / Ca等多个代用指标,重建了5000—3000年的亚洲夏季风(ASM)变化。结果表明,在4600 ~ 4330年BP和4070 ~ 3700年BP期间,南亚暖流减弱,降水减少。4330 ~ 4070 yr BP期间,南亚副热带变强,降水增加。YK1306的多指标变化表明,在4.2 ka事件中,该构造具有弱-强-弱的构造特征,并在不同的地质记录中重现。而西风带和澳印夏季风(AISM)则表现出与ASM相反的变化模式(强-弱-强)。这是由于北大西洋涛动(NAO)在百年尺度上的不同阶段,受大西洋经向翻转环流(AMOC)的调节。正nao型中,亚速尔高压和西风的强度抑制了ASM的强度。因此,在4.2 ka事件中,ASM和中东地区经历了双峰干旱和来自北方的沙尘通量增加。西风主导气候区(WDCR)的经向风增强导致印度洋和阿拉伯海的水汽输送到WDCR,从而增加了WDCR的降水。同时,AMOC的减弱导致了热带辐合带(ITCZ)的南移,增强了南半球的AISM,最终导致了与ASM相反的AISM对比变化。此外,中国夏朝时期强烈的ASM可能会产生频繁的古代洪水,导致龙山文化和良渚文化的衰落。在中国历史上,大禹对古代洪水的成功治理,得益于4070年BP之后大陆板块的减弱。因此,夏朝建立的官方年代是在4070年,这可能是可信的。借助前所未有的高精度年代学、高分辨率和多代用石笋记录的综合对比分析,本研究不仅详细描述了4.2 ka事件期间ASM的演化,而且有利于验证中国第一个王朝(夏朝)的年代和大禹传说。

Abstract. Sea surface temperature (SST) reconstructions based on isoprenoid glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (isoGDGT) distributions from the Eocene southwest (sw) Pacific Ocean are unequivocally warmer than can be reconciled with state-of-the-art fully coupled climate models. However, the SST signal preserved in sedimentary archives can be affected by contributions of additional isoGDGT sources. Methods now exist to identify and possibly correct for overprinting effects on the isoGDGT distribution in marine sediments. We here use the current proxy insights to assess the reliability of the isoGDGT-based SST signal in 69 newly analysed and 242 re-analysed sediments ODP Site 1172 (East Tasman Plateau, Australia) following state-of-the-art chromatographic techniques, in context of paleo-environmental and paleoclimatologic reconstructions based on dinoflagellate cysts. The resulting ~130 kyr-resolution Maastrichtian-Oligocene TEX86-based SST record confirms previous conclusions of anomalous warmth in the early Eocene sw Pacific and remarkably cool conditions during the mid-Paleocene. Dinocyst diversity and assemblages show a strong response to the local SST evolution, supporting the robustness of the TEX86 record. Soil-derived branched GDGTs stored in the same sediments are used to reconstruct mean annual air temperature (MAAT) of the nearby land using the MBT'5me proxy. MAAT is consistently lower than SST during the early Eocene, independent of the calibration chosen. General trends in SST and MAAT are similar, except for: 1) an enigmatic absence of MAAT rise during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum and Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum, and 2) a subdued middle–late Eocene MAAT cooling relative to SST. Both dinocysts and GDGT signals suggest a mid-shelf depositional environment with strong river-runoff during the Paleocene-early Eocene, progressively becoming more marine thereafter. This trend reflects gradual drying and more pronounced wet/dry seasons in the northward drifting Australian hinterland, which may also explain the subdued middle Eocene MAAT cooling relative to that of SST. The overall correlation between dinocyst assemblages, marine biodiversity and SST changes suggests that temperature exerted a strong influence on the surface-water ecosystem, probably in part through sea level changes caused by steric effects. Finally, we find support for a potential temperature control on compositional changes of branched glycerol monoalkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGMGTs) in marine sediments. It is encouraging that a critical evaluation of the GDGT signals confirms the vast majority of the generated data is reliable. However, this also implies the high TEX86-based SSTs for the Eocene sw Pacific, and the systematic offset between absolute TEX86-based SST and MBT'5me-based MAAT estimates remain unexplained.
摘要基于始新世西南太平洋的类异戊二烯甘油二烷基甘油四醚(isoGDGT)分布重建的海表温度(SST)明显高于最先进的完全耦合气候模式所能调和的温度。然而,沉积档案中保存的海温信号可能受到其他等ogdgt源的影响。目前已有方法来识别和可能纠正叠印效应对海洋沉积物中等ogdgt分布的影响。在此,我们利用目前的代理信息,利用最先进的色谱技术,在基于鞭毛藻囊的古环境和古气候重建的背景下,评估了69个新分析和242个重新分析的ODP Site 1172 (East Tasman Plateau, Australia)沉积物中基于isogdgt的海温信号的可靠性。得到的~130 kyr分辨率的马斯特里赫特-渐新世tex86海温记录证实了始新世早期西南太平洋异常变暖和古新世中期异常变冷的先前结论。恐龙囊的多样性和组合表现出对当地海温演化的强烈响应,支持了TEX86记录的鲁棒性。利用MBT’5me代替物,利用储存在同一沉积物中的土壤衍生分支GDGTs重建了附近陆地的年平均气温(MAAT)。始新世早期MAAT始终低于海温,与所选择的定标无关。海温和MAAT的总体趋势相似,除了:1)古新世-始新世热极大值和中始新世气候最适值期间MAAT没有上升,以及2)始新世中晚期MAAT相对于海温的减弱。古新世至始新世早期,甲藻囊和GDGT信号均显示了一个强河流径流的中陆架沉积环境,此后逐渐向海相转变。这一趋势反映了澳大利亚内陆向北漂移的逐渐干燥和更明显的湿/干季,这也可能解释了始新世中期MAAT相对于海温的缓慢冷却。恐龙囊组合、海洋生物多样性和海温变化之间的整体相关性表明,温度对地表水生态系统有很强的影响,部分可能是通过位阻效应引起的海平面变化。最后,我们发现了海洋沉积物中支链甘油单烷基甘油四醚(brGMGTs)组成变化的潜在温度控制的支持。令人鼓舞的是,对GDGT信号的关键评估证实了绝大多数生成的数据是可靠的。然而,这也意味着始新世西南太平洋基于tex86的海温较高,而基于tex86的海温绝对值与基于MBT’5me的MAAT估计之间的系统偏移仍然无法解释。

Sea surface temperature (SST) reconstructions based on isoprenoid glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (isoGDGT) distributions from the Eocene southwest (sw) Pacific Ocean are unequivocally warmer than can be reconciled with state-of-the-art fully coupled climate models. However, the SST signal preserved in sedimentary archives can be affected by contributions of additional isoGDGT sources. Methods now exist to identify and possibly correct for overprinting effects on the isoGDGT distribution in marine sediments. We here use the current proxy insights to assess the reliability of the isoGDGT-based SST signal in 69 newly analysed and 242 re-analysed sediments ODP Site 1172 (East Tasman Plateau, Australia) following state-of-the-art chromatographic techniques, in context of paleo-environmental and paleoclimatologic reconstructions based on dinoflagellate cysts. The resulting ~130 kyr-resolution Maastrichtian-Oligocene TEX86-based SST record confirms previous conclusions of anomalous warmth in the early Eocene sw Pacific and remarkably cool conditions during the mid-Paleocene. Dinocyst diversity and assemblages show a strong response to the local SST evolution, supporting the robustness of the TEX86 record. Soil-derived branched GDGTs stored in the same sediments are used to reconstruct mean annual air temperature (MAAT) of the nearby land using the MBT'5me proxy. MAAT is consistently lower than SST during the early Eocene, independent of the calibration chosen. General trends in SST and MAAT are similar, except for: 1) an enigmatic absence of MAAT rise during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum and Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum, and 2) a subdued middle–late Eocene MAAT cooling relative to SST. Both dinocysts and GDGT signals suggest a mid-shelf depositional environment with strong river-runoff during the Paleocene-early Eocene, progressively becoming more marine thereafter. This trend reflects gradual drying and more pronounced wet/dry seasons in the northward drifting Australian hinterland, which may also explain the subdued middle Eocene MAAT cooling relative to that of SST. The overall correlation between dinocyst assemblages, marine biodiversity and SST changes suggests that temperature exerted a strong influence on the surface-water ecosystem, probably in part through sea level changes caused by steric effects. Finally, we find support for a potential temperature control on compositional changes of branched glycerol monoalkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGMGTs) in marine sediments. It is encouraging that a critical evaluation of the GDGT signals confirms the vast majority of the generated data is reliable.

Abstract. The importance of Southern Ocean sea ice has come into the focus of polar research in the last couple of decades. Especially in West Antarctica, where sea ice has declined, its distribution and evolution play a critical role for the stability of nearby ice shelves. Organic geochemical analyses of marine surface sediments from the West Antarctic continental shelves permit a biomarker-based reconstruction of sea surface conditions in these vulnerable areas. We analysed highly branched isoprenoids (HBIs), such as the sea-ice proxy IPSO25 and phytoplankton-derived HBI-trienes, but also phytosterols and isoprenoidal glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs), which are established tools for the reconstruction of primary productivity and sea surface temperatures, respectively. The combination of IPSO25 with a phytoplankton marker results in the semi-quantitative sea-ice index PIPSO25, which provides useful reconstructions of sea-ice conditions, avoiding misleading over- or underestimations of sea-ice cover. Comparisons of the biomarker-based sea-ice distribution patterns and GDGT-based temperatures with (1) sea-ice distributions obtained from satellite observations and (2) estimated sea-ice patterns and SSTs deduced from modelled data are in reasonable agreement, but also highlight specific aspects that need to be considered when interpreting biomarker data. We further discuss IPSO25 concentrations in the vicinity of ice shelves, where elevated values could be related to the occurrence of ice shelf basal melt water and platelet ice under landfast sea ice.
摘要在过去的几十年里,南大洋海冰的重要性已经成为极地研究的焦点。特别是在海冰减少的西南极洲,海冰的分布和演变对附近冰架的稳定性起着至关重要的作用。南极西部大陆架海洋表面沉积物的有机地球化学分析允许在这些脆弱地区的海洋表面条件的生物标志物为基础的重建。我们分析了高支化的类异戊二烯(hbi),如海冰代用物IPSO25和浮游植物衍生的hbi -三烯,以及植物甾醇和异戊二烯甘油二烷基甘油四醚(GDGTs),它们分别是重建初级生产力和海面温度的成熟工具。IPSO25与浮游植物标志物的结合得到了半定量海冰指数PIPSO25,它提供了有用的海冰条件重建,避免了对海冰覆盖的误导性高估或低估。基于生物标志物的海冰分布模式和基于gdgt的温度与(1)卫星观测得到的海冰分布和(2)从模拟数据推断的估算海冰模式和海温的比较是合理的,但也突出了在解释生物标志物数据时需要考虑的具体方面。我们进一步讨论了冰架附近的IPSO25浓度,该浓度的升高可能与冰架基底融化水和陆地海冰下的血小板冰的出现有关。

Abstract. Freshwater, in the form of glacial runoff, is hypothesized to play a critical role in centennial to millennial scale climate variability such as the Younger Dryas and Dansgaard-Oeschger Events. Indeed, freshwater injection/hosing experiments with climate models have long shown that freshwater has the capability of generating such abrupt climate transitions. However, the relationship between freshwater and abrupt climate transitions is not straightforward. Large-scale glacial runoff events, such as Meltwater Pulse 1A, are not always temporally proximal to subsequent large-scale cooling. As well, the typical design of hosing experiments tends to artificially amplify the climate response. This study explores the impact that limitations in the representation of runoff in conventional hosing simulations has on our understanding of this relationship and addresses the more fundamental question of where coastally released freshwater is transported when it reaches the ocean. We focus particularly on the prior use of excessive freshwater volumes (often by a factor of 5) and present-day (rather than paleo) ocean gateways, as well as the injection of freshwater directly over sites of deep-water formation (DWF) rather than at runoff locations. We track the routing of glaciologically-constrained freshwater volumes from four different plausible injection locations in a suite of eddy-permitting glacial ocean simulations using MITGCM under both open and closed Bering Strait conditions. Restricting freshwater forcing values to realistic ranges results in less spreading of freshwater across the North Atlantic and indicates that the response of DWF depends strongly on the geographical location of meltwater input. In particular, freshwater released into the Gulf of Mexico has little impact on DWF regions as a result of turbulent mixing by the Gulf Stream. In contrast, freshwater released from the Eurasian Ice sheet or initially into the Arctic is found to have the largest impact on DWF in the North Atlantic and GIN seas. Additional experiments show that when the Bering Strait is open, much like present-day, the Mackenzie River source exhibits twice as much freshening of the Labrador sea as a closed Bering Strait. Finally, our results illustrate that applying a freshwater hosing directly into the North Atlantic with even realistic freshwater amounts still over-estimates the effect of terrestrial runoff on ocean circulation.
摘要淡水,以冰川径流的形式,被假设在百年至千年尺度的气候变化中发挥关键作用,如新仙女木和Dansgaard-Oeschger事件。事实上,用气候模型进行的淡水注入/软管实验早就表明,淡水有能力产生这种突然的气候转变。然而,淡水和气候突变之间的关系并不直接。大规模的冰川径流事件,如融水脉冲1A,并不总是在时间上接近随后的大规模冷却。此外,典型的软管实验设计往往会人为地放大气候反应。本研究探讨了传统软管模拟中径流表示的局限性对我们对这种关系的理解的影响,并解决了沿海释放的淡水在到达海洋时被运输到哪里的更基本问题。我们特别关注先前过量淡水的使用(通常是5倍)和现代(而不是古)海洋门户,以及直接在深水形成(DWF)地点而不是径流地点注入淡水。在白令海峡开放和封闭条件下,我们使用MITGCM在一套允许涡流的冰川海洋模拟中,跟踪了来自四个不同的合理注入位置的冰川学限制的淡水体积的路线。将淡水强迫值限制在现实范围内会减少淡水在北大西洋的扩散,并表明DWF的响应在很大程度上取决于融水输入的地理位置。特别是,由于墨西哥湾流的湍流混合,释放到墨西哥湾的淡水对DWF地区的影响很小。相比之下,从欧亚冰盖释放或最初进入北极的淡水被发现对北大西洋和印度洋海域的DWF影响最大。另外的实验表明,当白令海峡开放时,就像现在一样,麦肯齐河的源头显示出比封闭的白令海峡多两倍的拉布拉多海的新鲜。最后,我们的结果表明,即使是实际的淡水量,直接向北大西洋使用淡水软管仍然高估了陆地径流对海洋环流的影响。

Abstract. Trees record climatic conditions during their growth, and tree-rings serve as a proxy to reveal the features of the historical climate of a region. In this study, we collected tree-ring cores of forest hemlock (Tsuga forrestii) from the northwestern Yunnan area of the southeastern Tibetan Plateau (SETP), and created a residual tree-ring width (TRW) chronology. An analysis of the relationship between tree growth and climate revealed that precipitation during the non-growth season (NGS) (from November of the previous year to February of the current year) was the most important constraining factor on the radial tree growth of forest hemlock in this region. In addition, the influence of NGS precipitation on radial tree growth was relatively uniform over time (1956–2005). Accordingly, we reconstructed the NGS precipitation over the period spanning from A.D. 1475–2005. The reconstruction accounted for 28.5 % of the actual variance during the common period 1956–2005, and the leave-one-out verification parameters indicated the reliability of the reconstruction. Based on the reconstruction, NGS was extremely dry during the years A.D. 1475, 1656, 1670, 1694, 1703, 1736, 1897, 1907, 1943, 1969, 1982, and 1999. In contrast, the NGS was extremely wet during the years A.D. 1491, 1536, 1558, 1627, 1638, 1654, 1832, 1834–1835, and 1992. Similar variations of the NGS precipitation reconstruction series and Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) reconstructions from surrounding regions indicated the reliability of the reconstruction. A comparison of the reconstruction with Climate Research Unit (CRU) gridded data revealed that our reconstruction was representative of the NGS precipitation variability of a large region in the SETP.
摘要树木记录了其生长过程中的气候条件,而树木年轮则是揭示一个地区历史气候特征的代理。本研究收集了青藏高原东南部滇西北地区的森林铁杉(Tsuga forrestii)的树轮核,建立了剩余树轮宽度(TRW)年代学。树木生长与气候的关系分析表明,非生长季节(前一年11月至当年2月)的降水是该地区森林铁杉径向生长的最重要制约因素。此外,NGS降水对树径向生长的影响在时间上相对均匀(1956-2005)。据此,我们重建了公元1475-2005年期间的NGS降水。1956-2005年共期的重建方差占实际方差的28.5%,留一验证参数表明了重建的可靠性。根据重建结果,NGS在公元1475年、1656年、1670年、1694年、1703年、1736年、1897年、1907年、1943年、1969年、1982年和1999年极为干燥。相比之下,NGS在公元1491年、1536年、1558年、1627年、1638年、1654年、1832年、1834年至1835年和1992年非常潮湿。NGS降水重建序列和周边地区Palmer干旱严重指数(PDSI)重建序列的相似变化表明了重建的可靠性。与气候研究单位(CRU)网格数据的比较表明,我们的重建能够代表SETP大区域的NGS降水变率。

A Modified Milankovitch theory that reconciles contradictions with the paleoclimate record 修正的米兰科维奇理论调和了与古气候记录的矛盾

Abstract. Based upon research results over the past five decades, there has been a general acceptance that the ice ages were initiated by astronomical phenomenon. Specifically, marine, ice and terrestrial paleoclimate data have supported elements of the Milankovitch astronomical theory of the ice ages. However, there remain unresolved problems between the empirical findings and theory. The 100 thousand year problem has been the subject of extensive research since a 100 thousand year cycle that matches the Earth orbit eccentricity period dominates the frequencies found in paleoclimate records. Yet, eccentricity produces an insignificant variation in annual solar energy. Other problems include the Stage 11 problem, the missing interglacials problem, how glaciation is sustained over multiple tens of thousands of years and synchronous hemispheric glaciation. I shall show these problems are resolved by modification of the prevailing Milankovitch theory. In particular, two elements of the theory need modification. One is the limitation of eccentricity's role and the other assuming that glaciation results only from cool summer conditions. By applying the Solar Energy Invariance law to define e-seasons, how eccentricity provides conditions for glaciation is demonstrated. The results show eccentricity variations provide significant solar energy variations at the top of the earth's atmosphere to produce glaciation that is global. Global glaciation results in colder winter glaciation occurring in one hemisphere simultaneous with cool summer glaciation in the other hemisphere. Analysis with these modifications resolves each of the problems.
摘要根据过去50年的研究成果,人们普遍认为冰期是由天文现象引起的。具体地说,海洋、冰川和陆地的古气候数据支持了米兰科维奇关于冰期的天文学理论。然而,实证研究结果与理论之间仍存在未解决的问题。10万年问题一直是广泛研究的主题,因为与地球轨道偏心率周期相匹配的10万年周期在古气候记录中占主导地位。然而,离心率对年太阳能产生的变化微不足道。其他问题包括第11阶段问题、缺失的间冰期问题、冰川作用如何持续数万年以及半球同步冰川作用。我将说明这些问题是通过修改流行的米兰科维奇理论来解决的。特别是,该理论的两个要素需要修改。一种是偏心作用的局限性,另一种是假设冰川作用仅仅是由凉爽的夏季条件造成的。通过应用太阳能量不变性定律来定义e季,论证了偏心率如何为冰川作用提供条件。结果表明,偏心率的变化在地球大气层的顶部提供了显著的太阳能变化,以产生全球性的冰川作用。全球冰川作用导致一个半球发生较冷的冬季冰川作用,而另一个半球发生较冷的夏季冰川作用。使用这些修改进行分析可以解决每个问题。

Abstract. The S27 ice core, drilled in the Allan Hills Blue Ice Area of East Antarctica, is located in Southern Victoria Land ~80 km away from the present-day northern edge of the Ross Ice Shelf. Here, we utilize the reconstructed accumulation rate of S27 covering the Last Interglacial (LIG) period between 129 and 116 thousand years before present (ka) to infer moisture transport into the region. The accumulation rate is based on the ice age-gas age differences calculated from the ice chronology, which is constrained by the stable water isotopes of the ice, and an improved gas chronology based on measurements of oxygen isotopes of O2 in the trapped gases. The peak accumulation rate in S27 occurred at 128.2 ka, near the peak LIG warming in Antarctica. Even the most conservative estimate yields a six-fold increase in the accumulation rate in the LIG, whereas other Antarctic ice cores are typically characterized by a glacial-interglacial difference of a factor of two to three. While part of the increase in S27 accumulation rates must originate from changes in the large-scale atmospheric circulation, additional mechanisms are needed to explain the large changes. We hypothesize that the exceptionally high snow accumulation recorded in S27 reflects open-ocean conditions in the Ross Sea, created by reduced sea ice extent and increased polynya size, and perhaps by a southward retreat of the Ross Ice Shelf relative to its present-day position near the onset of LIG. The proposed ice shelf retreat would also be compatible with a sea-level high stand around 129 ka significantly sourced from West Antarctica. The peak in S27 accumulation rates is transient, suggesting that if the Ross Ice Shelf had indeed retreated during the early LIG, it would have re-advanced by 125 ka.
摘要S27冰芯是在南极洲东部的Allan Hills蓝冰区钻探的,位于维多利亚南部,距离今天的罗斯冰架北部边缘约80公里。本文利用末次间冰期(129000 ~ 116000年)S27的重建累积速率来推测该地区的水汽输送。累积速率基于由冰年代学计算出的冰期-气体年代学差异,冰年代学受冰的稳定水同位素的约束,以及基于捕获气体中O2的氧同位素测量的改进气体年代学。S27的累积速率峰值出现在128.2 ka,接近南极LIG升温的峰值。即使是最保守的估计,也会使LIG的积累速率增加6倍,而其他南极冰芯的典型特征是冰期-间冰期的差异为2至3倍。虽然S27积累速率的部分增加一定源于大尺度大气环流的变化,但还需要其他机制来解释这种大变化。我们假设,S27记录的异常高积雪反映了罗斯海的开放海洋条件,这是由海冰范围缩小和冰盆大小增加造成的,也可能是由于罗斯冰架相对于现在的位置在LIG开始附近向南退缩造成的。拟议的冰架退缩也将与129 ka左右的海平面高点相适应,主要来自西南极洲。S27积累速率的峰值是短暂的,这表明如果罗斯冰架在LIG早期确实退缩了,它将在125 ka时重新前进。
