متن کاملAtmospheric methane and nitrous oxide of the Late Pleistocene from Antarctic ice cores.
The European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica Dome C ice core enables us to extend existing records of atmospheric methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) back to 650,000 years before the present. A combined record of CH4 measured along the Dome C and the Vostok ice cores demonstrates, within the resolution of our measurements, that preindustrial concentrations over Antarctica have not exceed...
متن کاملMethane concentration in ice cores: A tool to reveal firn-ice properties and past climate changes
Large temperature variations on millennial time scales in Greenland characterised the last ice age. Abrupt warmings, known as Dansgaard–Oeschger (DO) events, can be traced in the δOice record of Greenland ice cores. However, it has been shown that δ Oice is not a direct temperature proxy. Measurements of the isotopic composition of gases trapped in the ice can be used to calibrate the paleother...
متن کاملInferring accumulation records from ice-cores
Ice cores contain a record of snow precipitation that includes information about past atmospheric circulation and mass imbalance in the polar regions. We present a novel adjoint method to reconstruct a climatic record by both optimally dating an ice-core and deriving from it a detailed accumulation history. The motivation of our work is the 5 recent application of phase sensitive radar which me...
متن کاملRemote Sensing D/H Ratios in Methane Ice: Temperature-Dependent Absorption Coefficients of CH3D in Methane Ice and in Nitrogen Ice
The existence of strong absorption bands of singly deuterated methane (CH3D) at wavelengths where normal methane (CH4) absorbs comparatively weakly could enable remote measurement of D/H ratios in methane ice on outer solar system bodies. We performed laboratory transmission spectroscopy experiments, recording spectra at wavelengths from 1 to 6 μm to study CH3D bands at 2.47, 2.87, and 4.56 μm,...
