Summer temperature trend over the past two millennia using air content in Himalayan ice
Two Himalayan ice cores display a factor-two decreasing trend of air content over the past two millennia, in contrast to the relatively stable values in Greenland and Antarctica ice cores over the same period. Because the air content can be related with the relative frequency and intensity of melt phenomena, its variations along the Himalayan ice cores provide an indication of summer temperatur...
متن کاملA method to measure Kr/N2 ratios in air bubbles trapped in ice cores and its application in reconstructing past mean ocean temperature
[1] We describe a new method for precise measurement of Kr/N2 ratios in air bubbles trapped in ice cores and the first reconstruction of atmospheric Kr/N2 during the last glacial maximum (LGM) 20,000 years ago. After gravitational correction, the Kr/N2 record in ice cores should represent the atmospheric ratio, which in turn should reflect past ocean temperature change due to the dependence of ...
متن کاملPast temperature reconstructions from deep ice cores: relevance for future climate change
Ice cores provide unique archives of past climate and environmental changes based only on physical processes. Quantitative temperature reconstructions are essential for the comparison between ice core records and climate models. We give an overview of the methods that have been developed to reconstruct past local temperatures from deep ice cores and highlight several points that are relevant fo...
متن کاملMethane concentration in ice cores: A tool to reveal firn-ice properties and past climate changes
Large temperature variations on millennial time scales in Greenland characterised the last ice age. Abrupt warmings, known as Dansgaard–Oeschger (DO) events, can be traced in the δOice record of Greenland ice cores. However, it has been shown that δ Oice is not a direct temperature proxy. Measurements of the isotopic composition of gases trapped in the ice can be used to calibrate the paleother...
متن کاملSimulating the temperature and precipitation signal in an Alpine ice core
This discussion paper is/has been under review for the journal Climate of the Past (CP). Please refer to the corresponding final paper in CP if available. Abstract Accumulation and δ 18 O data from Alpine ice cores provide information on past temperature and precipitation. However, their correlation with seasonal or annual mean temperature and precipitation at nearby sites is often low. Based o...
متن کاملIce core precipitation record in central Tibetan plateau since AD 1600
Lack of reliable long-term precipitation record from northern Tibetan Plateau has constrained the understanding of precipitation variation in this region. An ice core drilled from the Puruogangri Ice Field on central Tibetan Plateau in the year 2000 helped reveal the precipitation variations since AD 1600. Analysis of the annual accumulation 5 data presented precipitation changes from AD 1600, ...
