متن کاملThe dynamics of the Snowball Earth Hadley circulation for off-equatorial and seasonally varying insolation
I study the Hadley circulation of a completely icecovered Snowball Earth through simulations with a comprehensive atmosphere general circulation model. Because the Snowball Earth atmosphere is an example of a dry atmosphere, these simulations allow me to test to what extent dry theories and idealized models capture the dynamics of realistic dry Hadley circulations. Perpetual off-equatorial as w...
متن کاملClimate dynamics of a hard snowball Earth
[1] The problem of deglaciating a globally ice-covered (‘‘hard snowball’’) Earth is examined using a series of general circulation model simulations. The aim is to determine the amount of CO2 that must be accumulated in the atmosphere in order to trigger deglaciation. Prior treatments of this problem have been limited to energy balance models, which are incapable of treating certain crucial phy...
متن کاملA neoproterozoic snowball earth
Negative carbon isotope anomalies in carbonate rocks bracketing Neoproterozoic glacial deposits in Namibia, combined with estimates of thermal subsidence history, suggest that biological productivity in the surface ocean collapsed for millions of years. This collapse can be explained by a global glaciation (that is, a snowball Earth), which ended abruptly when subaerial volcanic outgassing rais...
متن کاملAftermath of a snowball Earth
[1] Using a simple 3-box model of the ocean-atmosphere system, we simulate the cycling of carbon and strontium in the aftermath of a global glaciation. Model simulations include the delivery of alkalinity to seawater from intense carbonate and silicate weathering under high pCO2 conditions as well as ocean mixing, air-sea gas exchange, and biological productivity. The dC of the first carbonate ...
