New measurements of atmospheric greenhouse gas … concentrations in ice from Law Dome, Antarctica reproduce … published Law Dome CO2 and CH4 records, extend them … back to 2000 years BP, and include N2O. They have very … high air age resolution, data density and measurement … precision.
Measurements of atmospheric trace gas composition from times before reliable direct observations began in the late 20th century come from air enclosed in polar ice and firn. This presentation will review the evidence for changes in atmospheric CO2…
The event that occurred approximately 8200 years ago is the largest excursion in climate since the beginning of the Holocene. In this event we observe the climatic response to a perturbation which provides a probe with which to investigate the stability of interglacial climate.
We report a 2000-year Antarctic ice-core record of stable carbon isotope measurements in atmospheric methane (ä13CH4). Large ä13CH4 variations indicate that the methane budget varied unexpectedly during the late preindustrial Holocene (circa 0 to 1700 A.D.). During the first thousand years…
Bubbles of air trapped in ice sheets provide an important record of past atmospheric gas composition. Understanding of climate change and atmospheric composition over the last 400,000 years has been greatly improved using ice core analysis.
High precision multispecies trace gas measurements of Law Dome ice have been produced for the last 2000 years. The new records of CO2 and CH4 compare very well with the published Law Dome records of the last 1000 years. The new measurements are used to confirm the changes observed in these records…
