Antarctic deglacial pattern in a 30 kyr record of sea surface temperature offshore South Australia
نویسندگان
چکیده
[1] Comparison of ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica shows an asynchronous two-step warming at these high latitudes during the Last Termination. However, the question whether this asynchrony extends to lower latitudes is unclear mainly due to the scarcity of paleorecords from the Southern Hemisphere. New data from a marine core collected off South Australia ( 36 S) allows a detailed reconstruction of sea-surface temperatures over the Last Termination. This confirms the existence of an Antarctic-type deglacial pattern and shows no indication of cooling associated with the Northern Hemisphere YD event. The SST record also provides a new comparison with the more extensive paleoclimatic data available from continental Australia. This shows a strong climatic link between onshore and offshore records for Australia and to Southern Hemisphere paleorecords. We also show a progressive SST drop over the last 6.5 kyr not seen before for the Australian region. Citation: Calvo, E., C. Pelejero, P. De Deckker, and G. A.

Millennial scale changes in sea surface temperature and ocean circulation in the northeast Pacific, 10–60 kyr BP
[1] A new centennial-scale Mg/Ca temperature record from the California margin (ODP Site 1017E) reveals large millennial-scale oscillations between 10 to 60 kyr. This record indicates that sea surface temperature on the California Margin warmed rapidly on the deglacial by 7.4 0.8 C, and was preceded by a pre-Bølling temperature oscillation of 2.6 1.2 C. Millennial-scale events of the last glaci...
متن کاملAntarctic timing of surface water changes off Chile and Patagonian ice sheet response.
Marine sediments from the Chilean continental margin are used to infer millennial-scale changes in southeast Pacific surface ocean water properties and Patagonian ice sheet extent since the last glacial period. Our data show a clear "Antarctic" timing of sea surface temperature changes, which appear systematically linked to meridional displacements in sea ice, westerly winds, and the circumpola...

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 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...
