Multi-proxy reconstruction of surface water pCO2 in the northern Arabian Sea since 29 ka
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report here the results of a multi-proxy study to reconstruct surface water pCO2 concentrations in the northern Arabian Sea. Our results show that δB and Mg/Ca measurements of the planktonic foraminifer Globigerinoides sacculifer yield consistent pCO2 values with those reconstructed from the δC of alkenones when used in

Monthly variability in surface pCO2 and net air-sea CO2 flux in the Arabian Sea
[1] Recent studies on biogeochemical cycling of carbon in the Arabian Sea, by Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS), revealed that the Arabian Sea is a perennial source of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. The surface pCO2 is governed by physical processes such as water mass transports, upwelling and winter convective mixing, and associated biological processes. Hence surface pCO2 distribution ...
متن کاملeNd in sediments of the southeastern Arabian Sea: Impact of monsoon and surface water circulation
[1] Sr and Nd isotopic composition of silicate fractions of sediments have been measured in two well dated gravity cores from the eastern Arabian Sea archiving a depositional history of ∼29 and ∼40 ka. The Sr/Sr and "Nd in the northern core (SS‐3104G; 12.8°N, 71.7°E) ranges from 0.71416 to 0.71840 and −8.8 to −12.8; these variations are limited compared to those in the southeastern core (SS‐310...

1-Introduction Climate change refers to any significant change in the existing mean climatic conditions within a certain time period (Jana and Majumder, 2010; Giorgi, 2006). Earth's climate change through history has happened (Nakicenovic et al., 2000; Bytnerowicz et al., 2007). 2-Materials and methods In this study, daily precipitation and daily maximum (Tmax) and daily minimum (Tmin) tempera...
متن کاملA benthic δC‐based proxy for atmospheric pCO2 over the last 1.5 Myr
[1] A high‐resolution marine proxy for atmospheric pCO2 is needed to clarify the phase lag between pCO2 and marine climate proxies and to provide a record of orbital‐scale pCO2 variations before the oldest ice core measurement at 800 ka. Benthic dC data should record deep ocean carbon storage and, thus, atmospheric pCO2. This study finds that a modified dC gradient between the deep Pacific and ...
