An oceanic cold reversal during the last deglaciation.

چکیده
A detailed deuterium excess profile measured along the Dome C EPICA (European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica) core reveals the timing and strength of the sea surface temperature changes at the source regions for Dome C precipitation. We infer that an Oceanic Cold Reversal took place in the southern Indian Ocean, 800 years after the Antarctic Cold Reversal. The temperature gradient between the oceanic moisture source and Antarctica is similar to the Dome C sodium profile during the deglaciation, illustrating the strong link between this gradient and the strength of the atmospheric circulation.

Diachronous retreat of the Greenland ice sheet during the last deglaciation
The last deglaciation is the most recent interval of large-scale climate change that drove the Greenland ice sheet from continental shelf to within its present extent. Here, we use a database of 645 published 10Be ages from Greenland to document the spatial and temporal patterns of retreat of the Greenland ice sheet during the last deglaciation. Following initial retreat of its marine margins, ...
متن کاملRelative timing of deglacial climate events in Antarctica and Greenland.
The last deglaciation was marked by large, hemispheric, millennial-scale climate variations: the Bølling-Allerød and Younger Dryas periods in the north, and the Antarctic Cold Reversal in the south. A chronology from the high-accumulation Law Dome East Antarctic ice core constrains the relative timing of these two events and provides strong evidence that the cooling at the start of the Antarcti...
متن کاملMajor advance of South Georgia glaciers during the Antarctic Cold Reversal following extensive sub-Antarctic glaciation
The history of glaciations on Southern Hemisphere sub-polar islands is unclear. Debate surrounds the extent and timing of the last glacial advance and termination on sub-Antarctic South Georgia in particular. Here, using sea-floor geophysical data and marine sediment cores, we resolve the record of glaciation offshore of South Georgia through the transition from the Last Glacial Maximum to Holo...
متن کاملSeasonal variations in aridity and temperature characterize changing climate during the last deglaciation in New Zealand
New multiproxy records of aridity from northern New Zealand assess the seasonality and overall pattern of wetness through the Last Glacial Coldest Period (LGCP) to the early Holocene in the subtropical Southwest Pacific. Biomass burning indicators based on terrestrial biomarkers and d13C of individual plant leaf wax carbon compounds (n-alkanoic acids) from a maar lake were used to track aridity...
متن کاملNorthern timing of deglaciation in the eastern equatorial Pacific from alkenone paleothermometry
[1] The equatorial cold tongue (ECT) of the eastern Pacific is the most dynamic ocean region in the world’s tropics and sets the tempo for global climate anomalies arising from El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events. This region’s deglaciation history and relationship with north and south polar climates remains poorly understood, impeding integration of tropical Pacific ocean-atmosphere dyn...
