متن کاملAbrupt change in tropical African climate linked to the bipolar seesaw over the past 55,000 years
[1] The tropics play a major role in global climate dynamics, and are vulnerable to future climate change. We present a record of East African climate since 55 ka, preserved in Lake Malawi sediments, that indicates rapid shifts between discrete climate modes related to abrupt warming (D-O) events observed in Greenland. Although the timing of the Malawi events cannot be determined exactly, our a...
متن کاملAn orbitally driven tropical source for abrupt climate change
Paleoclimatic data is increasingly showing that abrupt change is present in wide regions of the globe. Here we present a mechanism for abrupt climate change with global implications. Results from a tropical coupled ocean-atmosphere model show that under certain orbital con gurations of the past, variability associated with El Ni~ no/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) physics can abruptly lock to the s...
متن کاملAbrupt climate change.
Large, abrupt, and widespread climate changes with major impacts have occurred repeatedly in the past, when the Earth system was forced across thresholds. Although abrupt climate changes can occur for many reasons, it is conceivable that human forcing of climate change is increasing the probability of large, abrupt events. Were such an event to recur, the economic and ecological impacts could b...
متن کاملAbrupt change in climate and climate models
First, we review the evidence that abrupt climate changes have occurred in the past and then demonstrate that climate models have developing capacity to simulate many of these changes. In particular, the processes by which changes in the ocean circulation drive abrupt changes appear to be captured by climate models to a degree that is encouraging. The evidence that past changes in the ocean hav...
