Concentration of CO2 over melting ice oscillates.

چکیده
We report that the concentration of CO2 over melting ice oscillates as long as water and ice coexist. A phenomenological model involving melting of CO2 containing ice leading to its release, readsorption of the vapor on ice, and dissolution in water is proposed. Thermokinetics of these processes lead to nonlinearity of the dynamics. This phenomenon is also observed over impure ice contaminated with salts or in the presence of nitrogen or air. Oscillations have been observed in several other solute or ice-water systems.

NOTES AND CORRESPONDENCE Surface Melting over Ice Shelves and Ice Sheets as Assessed from Modeled Surface Air Temperatures
Summer surface melting plays an important role in the evolution of ice shelves and their progenitor ice sheets. To explore themagnitude of surfacemelt occurring overmodern ice shelves and ice sheets in a climate scenario forced by anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), a coupled climate model was used to simulate the distribution of summer melt at high latitudes and project the future...
متن کاملQuantifying the AMOC feedbacks during a 2·CO2 stabilization experiment with land-ice melting
The response of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) to an increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration is analyzed using the IPSL-CM4 coupled ocean–atmosphere model. Two simulations are integrated for 70 years with 1%/year increase in CO2 concentration until 2·CO2, and are then stabilized for further 430 years. The first simulation takes land-ice melting into account, via a simp...
متن کاملAn increasing CO2 sink in the Arctic Ocean due to sea-ice loss
[1] The Arctic Ocean and adjacent continental shelf seas such as the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas are particularly sensitive to long-term change and low-frequency modes of atmosphere-ocean-sea-ice forcing. The cold, low salinity surface waters of the Canada Basin of the Arctic Ocean are undersaturated with respect to CO2 in the atmosphere and the region has the potential to take up atmospheric CO2...

The effect of using some stabilizers on the viscosity, over-run, melting characteristics and sensory properties of frozen yogurt was investigated in this study. The ice cream mix in all groups was 10% fat, 13% sucrose, 13% MSNF (milk non-fat solids). stabilizers that were tried were Panisol ex (P), salab (s) and a mix of stabilizers and emulsifiers (M) include (sodium alginate (0.23%), guar (0....
متن کاملDelayed CO2 emissions from mid-ocean ridge volcanism as a possible cause of late-Pleistocene glacial cycles
The coupled 100,000 year variations in ice volume, temperature, and atmospheric CO2 during the late Pleistocene are generally considered to arise from a combination of orbital forcing, ice dynamics, and ocean circulation. Also previously argued is that changes in glaciation influence atmospheric CO2 concentrations through modifying subaerial volcanic eruptions and CO2 emissions. Building on evi...
