Was the Medieval Warm Period Global?
he reconstruction of global temperatures during the last millennium can provide important clues for how climate may change in the future. A recent, widely cited reconstruction ( ) leaves the impression that the 20th century warming was unique during the last millennium. It shows no hint of the Medieval Warm Period (from around 800 to 1200 A.D.) during which the Vikings colonized Greenland ( ), ...
متن کاملTransport of warm upper circumpolar deep water onto the Western Antarctic Peninsula Continental Shelf
continental slope. Historically, four mechanisms have been suggested (or assumed): (1) eddies shed from the ACC, (2) flow into the cross-shelf-cutting canyons with overflow onto the nominal shelf, (3) general upwelling, and (4) episodic sweeping of ACC meanders over the shelf. The mooring array showed that for the years of deployment, the dominant mechanism is eddies; upwelling may also contrib...
متن کاملWhy does the Antarctic Peninsula Warm in Climate Simulations?
The Antarctic Peninsula has warmed significantly since the 1950s. This pronounced and isolated warming trend is collectively simulated by 29 twentiethcentury climate hindcasts participating in the version 3 Coupled Model Intercomparison Project. To understand the factors driving warming trends in the hindcasts, we examine trends in Peninsula region’s atmospheric heat budget in every simulation....

متن کاملSpeleothem evidence for temporal–spatial variation in the East Asian Summer Monsoon since the Medieval Warm Period
Published annual-to-decadal-resolution stalagmite dO records since AD 900 from six caves (Dongge, Furong, Heshang, Buddha, Shihua andWanxiang) in China were analyzed to detect temporal and spatial variability of the East Asian Summer Monsoon strength, which strongly affects wet/dry conditions in eastern China. The empirical mode decomposition method was used to obtain trends of the six cave rec...
