Slowing down of North Pacific climate variability and its implications for abrupt ecosystem change.
Marine ecosystems are sensitive to stochastic environmental variability, with higher-amplitude, lower-frequency--i.e., "redder"--variability posing a greater threat of triggering large ecosystem changes. Here we show that fluctuations in the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) index have slowed down markedly over the observational record (1900-present), as indicated by a robust increase in autoco...
متن کاملSlowing down as an early warning signal for abrupt climate change.
In the Earth's history, periods of relatively stable climate have often been interrupted by sharp transitions to a contrasting state. One explanation for such events of abrupt change is that they happened when the earth system reached a critical tipping point. However, this remains hard to prove for events in the remote past, and it is even more difficult to predict if and when we might reach a...
متن کاملClimate Change, Ecosystem Variability and Fisheries Productivity
Climate-driven variation on the timing and location of phytoplankton blooms has profound effects on the number of larval fish and invertebrates surviving and recruiting each year, and ultimately on the structure and dynamics of marine ecosystems. The spring phytoplankton bloom is the only source of food for many fish and invertebrate larvae. The degree of spatial and temporal overlap of the spr...
متن کاملNorth Pacific Decadal Climate Variability since 1661
Climate in the North Pacific and North American sectors has experienced interdecadal shifts during the twentieth century. A network of recently developed tree-ring chronologies for Southern and Baja California extends the instrumental record and reveals decadal-scale variability back to 1661. The Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO) is closely matched by the dominant mode of tree-ring variability ...
