Cave Temperatures and Global Climatic Change
The physical processes that establish the cave temperature are briefly discussed, showing that cave temperature is generally strictly connected with the external climate. The Global Climatic changes can then influence also the underground climate. It is shown that the mountain thermal inertia causes a delay between the two climates and then a thermal unbalance between the cave and the atmospher...
متن کاملMid-Latitude (30◦–60◦ N) climatic warming inferred by combining borehole temperatures with surface air temperatures
We construct a mid-latitude (30–60 N) reduced temperature-depth profile from a global borehole temperature database compiled for climate reconstruction. This reduced temperature profile is interpreted in terms of past surface ground temperature change and indicates warming on the order of 1C over the past 100 to 200 years. The combination of an initial temperature (the primary free parameter) w...
متن کاملClimate change, climatic variation and extreme biological responses
Extreme climatic events could be major drivers of biodiversity change, but it is unclear whether extreme biological changes are (i) individualistic (species- or group-specific), (ii) commonly associated with unusual climatic events and/or (iii) important determinants of long-term population trends. Using population time series for 238 widespread species (207 Lepidoptera and 31 birds) in England...
متن کاملClimate Change Attribution Using Empirical Decomposition of Climatic Data
It can be argued that estimation of periodic signals in climate data requires either spectral methods or very long time series, or both. For obtaining a very precise estimate of signal properties this may be true, but for estimating periodicity to within plus or minus a few years, this is not true. To illustrate, we replicate the procedure used in the main manuscript. We take the model from Fig...
متن کاملForensic entomology and climatic change.
Forensic entomology establishes the postmortem interval (PMI) by studying cadaveric fauna. The PMI today is still largely based on tables of insect succession on human cadavers compiled in the late 19th- or mid-20th centuries. In the last few years, however, the gradual warming of the climate has been changing faunal communities by favouring the presence of thermophilous species. To demonstrate...
