Fidelity and projected changes in the climate models, used for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate … Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report (AR4), are assessed with regard to the Southern Hemisphere … extratropical ocean and sea ice systems.
In Polar Regions, sea ice has a marked influence on interactions between the coupled ocean-atmosphere system. The contribution of the sea ice zone to the global flux of dimethylsulphide (DMS), a trace sulphur gas implicated in climate change, has been of interest for over a decade.
It is generally accepted that surface freshwater … anomalies in the Southern Ocean drive increases in North … Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) formation via a bipolar … density see-saw. We find that a Southern Ocean freshwater … pulse of comparable magnitude to meltwater pulse 1A, shuts down…
The stability of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) to freshwater (FW) perturbations is investigated in a … coupled climate model of intermediate complexity. It is found that AABW is stable to surface freshwater … fluxes greater in volume and rate to those that permanently “shut down”…
[1] The relationship between the production of dimethylsulfide (DMS) in the upper … ocean and atmospheric sulfate aerosols has been confirmed through local shipboard … measurements, and global modeling studies alike.
Concentrations of dimethylsulphoniopropionate (DMSP) were measured in seven pack ice cores from three sites in eastern Antarctica to determine their relation to algal pigments, nutrients (nitrate, silicate and phosphate) and bulk salinity. The algal groups haptophytes…
