Early-nineteenth century southern African precipitation reconstructions from ships’ logbooks
Atmospheric circulation in the oceans surrounding southern Africa plays an important role in determining its precipitation. This study uses wind information recorded in ships’ logbooks in order to statistically reconstruct summer and winter season precipitation at four southern African weather stations from 1796-1854. The reconstruction was obtained by first relating gridded 8° x 8° NCEP-DOE re...
متن کاملSouthern Ocean Phytoplankton in a Changing Climate
Phytoplankton are the base of the Antarctic food web, sustain the wealth and diversity of life for which Antarctica is renowned, and play a critical role in biogeochemical cycles that mediate global climate. Over the vast expanse of the Southern Ocean (SO), the climate is variously predicted to experience increased warming, strengthening wind, acidification, shallowingmixed layer depths, increa...
متن کاملThe Southern Ocean, carbon and climate.
The Southern Ocean fascinates us. It retains an aura of mystery from the time of the early European explorers, when to sail through the Straits of Magellan or around Cape Horn was to leave the known world behind. Then, as now, the waters of the Southern Ocean earned a reputation as the roughest and most challenging on the Earth, a test for the bravest of mariners. Many that sailed there never r...
متن کاملEffects of Whaling on the Structure of the Southern Ocean Food Web: Insights on the “Krill Surplus” from Ecosystem Modelling
The aim of this study was to examine the ecological plausibility of the "krill surplus" hypothesis and the effects of whaling on the Southern Ocean food web using mass-balance ecosystem modelling. The depletion trajectory and unexploited biomass of each rorqual population in the Antarctic was reconstructed using yearly catch records and a set of species-specific surplus production models. The r...
متن کاملState of the Antarctic and Southern Ocean Climate System
[1] This paper reviews developments in our understanding of the state of the Antarctic and Southern Ocean climate and its relation to the global climate system over the last few millennia. Climate over this and earlier periods has not been stable, as evidenced by the occurrence of abrupt changes in atmospheric circulation and temperature recorded in Antarctic ice core proxies for past climate. ...
