Mass and volume transport variability in an eddy-filled ocean
The possibility that the oceanic general circulation is undergoing changes as part, or the cause, of major climate shifts is being intensely discussed, with some published results relying on data from moorings spanning the North Atlantic Ocean. The circulation is, however, extremely noisy. Here, I use existing estimates of the frequency and wavenumber content of geostrophic eddies in the ocean ...
متن کاملGround-based Measurements of Spatial and Temporal Variability of Snow Accumulation in East Antarctica
[1] The East Antarctic Ice Sheet is the largest, highest, coldest, driest, and windiest ice sheet on Earth. Understanding of the surface mass balance (SMB) of Antarctica is necessary to determine the present state of the ice sheet, to make predictions of its potential contribution to sea level rise, and to determine its past history for paleoclimatic reconstructions. However, SMB values are poo...
متن کاملClimatic variability in Princess Elizabeth Land (East Antarctica) over the last 350 years
We use isotopic composition (δD) data from six sites in Princess Elizabeth Land (PEL) in order to reconstruct air temperature variability in this sector of East Antarctica over the last 350 years. First, we use the present-day instrumental mean annual surface air temperature data to demonstrate that the studied region (between Russia’s Progress, Vostok and Mirny research stations) is characteri...
متن کاملSpatio-temporal variability of past accumulation rates inferred from isochronous layers at Dome A, East Antarctica
Studies of palaeo-accumulation rates at Dome A, East Antarctica, are entirely absent. Here, spatio-temporal variations in ice accumulation rates for the past ∼161 ka are calculated from isochronous internal layering, traced from radio-echo sounding (RES) data collected by the Polar Research Institute of China (PRIC) during the 21st CHINARE. The layers are dated by linking them to the site of Vo...
متن کاملFlow dynamics of Byrd Glacier, East Antarctica
Force-balance calculations on Byrd Glacier, East Antarctica, reveal large spatial variations in the along-flow component of driving stress with corresponding sticky spots that are stationary over time. On the large scale, flow resistance is partitioned between basal (�80%) and lateral (�20%) drag. Ice flow is due mostly to basal sliding and concentrated vertical shear in the basal ice layers, i...
