The ocean circulation in the southern hemisphere and its climatic impacts in the Eocene
Opening of Southern Ocean gateways may have had a controlling influence on the evolution of global climate. The largest step in the history of Cenozoic climate, from an Eocene bGreenhouseQ toward the modern glaciated state, is correlated with opening of a deep water connection between the Southern Indian and Southern Pacific Oceans. This study synthesizes results from previous work, assesses th...
متن کاملA statistical interpretation of surface ocean temperature trends during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum
often considered a geologic analog to the modern, rapid addition of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. The ability to assess the sensitivity of many rate-dependent climate change impacts, based on the PETM analogy, hinges critically on the PETM warming rate. Current estimates of the PETM warming rate face considerable problems, for example, due to the nontrivial statistical challenges in account...
متن کاملA continental shelf perspective of ocean acidification and temperature evolution during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum
A rapid and large injection of isotopically light carbon into the ocean-atmosphere reservoirs is signaled by a negative carbon isotope excursion (CIE) at the Paleocene-Eocene boundary ~56 m.y. ago. To better understand the extent of ocean warming and acidification associated with the carbon injection we generated elemental and isotopic records of surface and thermocline planktonic foraminifera ...
متن کاملHuman impacts on open ocean mercury concentrations
[1] We develop an empirically constrained multicompartment box model for mercury cycling in open ocean regions to investigate changes in concentrations resulting from anthropogenic perturbations of the global mercury cycle. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we explicitly consider the effects of variability in measured parameters on modeled seawater concentrations. Our simulations show that anthrop...
متن کاملA Model-data Comparison for a Multi-model Ensemble of Early Eocene Atmosphere-ocean Simulations: EoMIP
The early Eocene (∼ 55 to 50 Ma) is a time period which has been explored in a large number of modelling and data studies. Here, using an ensemble of previously published model results, making up “EoMIP” – the Eocene Modelling Intercomparison Project – and syntheses of early Eocene terrestrial and sea surface temperature data, we present a self-consistent inter-model and model– data comparison....
