Interglacials, Milankovitch Cycles, and Carbon Dioxide
نویسنده
چکیده
The existing understanding of interglacial periods is that they are initiated by Milankovitch cycles enhanced by rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations. During interglacials, global temperature is also believed to be primarily controlled by carbon dioxide concentrations, modulated by internal processes such as the Pacific Decadal Oscillation and the North Atlantic Oscillation. Recent work challenges the fundamental basis of these conceptions.

Performance Investigation of Two Two-Stage Trans-Critical Carbon Dioxide Refrigeration Cycles Ejector and Internal Heat Exchanger
In the present work, the performances of improved two-stage multi inter-cooler trans- critical carbon dioxide (CO2) refrigeration cycles with ejector and internal heat exchanger have been examined. In the new improved cycles, an internal heat exchanger is append to the cycles. Also, second inter-cooler in improved cycles, cooled with the refrigeration of the cycle, so that in first c...
متن کاملIn and out of glacial extremes by way of dust−climate feedbacks
Mineral dust aerosols cool Earth directly by scattering incoming solar radiation and indirectly by affecting clouds and biogeochemical cycles. Recent Earth history has featured quasi-100,000-y, glacial-interglacial climate cycles with lower/higher temperatures and greenhouse gas concentrations during glacials/interglacials. Global average, glacial maxima dust levels were more than 3 times highe...
متن کاملQuasi-100 ky glacial-interglacial cycles triggered by subglacial burial carbon release
A mechanism is proposed in which climate, carbon cycle and icesheets interact with each other to produce a feedback that can lead to quasi-100 ky glacial-interglacial cycles. A central process is the burial and preservation of organic carbon by icesheets which contributes to the observed glacial-interglacial CO2 change (the glacial burial hypothesis, Zeng, 2003). Allowing carbon cycle to intera...
متن کاملTemperature response of Mars to Milankovitch cycles
[1] On Mars annual mean surface temperature near ±60 latitude varies predominately with precession and is not closely related to annualmean insolation. Based on the last few million years of orbital history, the precession cycle dominates in a narrow latitude range 54 –65 , in which the margins of the two ice-rich permafrost layers in each hemisphere happen to lie, while mean annual temperature...
متن کاملA 400 kyr record of combustion oxygen demand in the western equatorial Pacific Evidence for a precessionally forced climate response
We have developed a combustion analysis technique for sediments which measures the amount of 02 consumed by the reduced species. We have measured this quantity, which we call "combustion oxygen demand (COD)," on a carbonate-rich sediment core from the Ontong-Java Plateau in the western equatorial Pacific back to marine oxygen isotope stage 11. The precision f the COD technique is +6.3 gmol 02 g...
