Little Ice Age cold interval in West Antarctica: Evidence from borehole temperature at the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) Divide
[1] The largest climate anomaly of the last 1000 years in the Northern Hemisphere was the Little Ice Age (LIA) from 1400–1850 C.E., but little is known about the signature of this event in the Southern Hemisphere, especially in Antarctica. We present temperature data from a 300 m borehole at the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) Divide. Results show that WAIS Divide was colder than the last 1000-...
متن کاملThermal diffusivity of seasonal snow determined from temperature profiles
Please cite this article in press as: Oldroyd HJ et http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.advwatres.2012.06.0 Thermal diffusivity of snow is an important thermodynamic property associated with key hydrological phenomena such as snow melt and heat and water vapor exchange with the atmosphere. Direct determination of snow thermal diffusivity requires coupled point measurements of thermal conductivity and d...
متن کاملAccelerated sea-level rise from West Antarctica.
Recent aircraft and satellite laser altimeter surveys of the Amundsen Sea sector of West Antarctica show that local glaciers are discharging about 250 cubic kilometers of ice per year to the ocean, almost 60% more than is accumulated within their catchment basins. This discharge is sufficient to raise sea level by more than 0.2 millimeters per year. Glacier thinning rates near the coast during ...
متن کاملLittle Ice Age (neoglacial) Paleoenvironmental Conditions at Siple Station, Antarctica
The 550-year records of 6180 and dust concentrations from Siple Station, Antarctica suggest warmer and less dusty atmospheric conditions from 1600 to 1830 A.D. which encompasses much of the northern hemisphere Little Ice Age (LIA).· Dust and 6180 data from South Pole Station indicate that the opposite conditions (e.g. cooler and more dusty) were prevalent there during the LIA. Meteorological da...
متن کاملThe timing of ice age terminations determined by wavelet methods
This paper presents a new analysis of four time series of paleo climate data using wavelet methods to determine the timings and characteristics of the ice age terminations We use an antisymmetric wavelet which detects locations in the time series where there are large changes The results are consistent with previous work but we have for the rst time been able to explore the features of the indi...
