Northern Hemisphere Ice-Sheet Influences on Global Climate Change
Large ice sheets actively interact with the rest of the climate system by amplifying, pacing, and potentially driving global climate change over several time scales. Direct and indirect influences of ice sheets on climate cause changes in ocean surface temperatures, ocean circulation, continental water balance, vegetation, and landsurface albedo, which in turn cause additional feedbacks in the ...
متن کاملGlobal Warming and Northern Hemisphere Sea Ice Extent.
Surface and satellite-based observations show a decrease in Northern Hemisphere sea ice extent during the past 46 years. A comparison of these trends to control and transient integrations (forced by observed greenhouse gases and tropospheric sulfate aerosols) from the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory and Hadley Centre climate models reveals that the observed decrease in Northern Hemisphere...
متن کاملClimatic conditions for modelling the Northern Hemisphere ice sheets throughout the ice age cycle
The ice sheet-climate interaction as well as the climatic response to orbital parameters and atmospheric CO 2 content are examined in order to drive an ice sheet model throughout an ice age cycle. Feedback processes between ice sheet and atmosphere are analyzed by numerical experiments using a high resolution General Circulation 5 Model (GCM) under different conditions at the Last Glacial Maxim...
متن کاملCoupled Northern Hemisphere permafrost–ice-sheet evolution over the last glacial cycle
Permafrost influences a number of processes which are relevant for local and global climate. For example, it is well known that permafrost plays an important role in global carbon and methane cycles. Less is known about the interaction between permafrost and ice sheets. In this study a permafrost module is included in the Earth system model CLIMBER-2, and the coupled Northern Hemisphere (NH) pe...
متن کاملHistorical trends in lake and river ice cover in the northern hemisphere
Freeze and breakup dates of ice on lakes and rivers provide consistent evidence of later freezing and earlier breakup around the Northern Hemisphere from 1846 to 1995. Over these 150 years, changes in freeze dates averaged 5.8 days per 100 years later, and changes in breakup dates averaged 6.5 days per 100 years earlier; these translate to increasing air temperatures of about 1.2 degrees C per ...
