- 季節的な解像度を持つ長期的な気候記録は,自然の平滑と測定の制限のために希少です.
- 気候変化の主要な要因である 太陽熱の強制は 季節的変動によって作用します
- 気候モデルを検証する上で,季節的な気候の長期的感受性を評価することが極めて重要です.
研究 の 目的
- 過去1万1千年の西南極の 夏と冬の温度を再現する
- 季節的な太陽照射の変化と温度変動の関係を調べる.
- 西南極の氷床の表面の上昇を抑制するために
主な方法
- 西南極氷床の氷核からの連続した水同位体比の記録の分析.
- 気候モデルシミュレーションと古気候データを比較する.
- 温度変化と氷床の表面の上昇を推測する
主要な成果
- 西南極の夏の気温はホロセンの初期から中期に上昇し,4,100年前にピークに達し,その後減少しました.
- これらの夏の気温の変動は夏の最大日焼け強さの変化と強く相関しています.
- 冬の気温は変化が少ないが,ホロセンの初期には変動した.これはおそらく熱伝導の変化によるものである. 氷床の表面下落は162m未満で,おそらく58m未満です.
結論
- 西南極におけるホロセンの夏の温暖化の主な要因は,持続時間や統合された値ではなく,季節的な日焼けの強さです.
- この発見は,長期にわたる季節的な気候に対する太陽照射の理論的予測を裏付けている.
- この研究は,西南極の氷床の長期的安定性と高さの変化に関する重要な制約を提供します.

Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.
Weather and Climate
Weather and climate are related, though they differ in terms of time scale and predictability. Weather refers to the state of the atmosphere at a specific time and place, whereas climate...
A thermometer measures body temperature. The common sites for measuring body temperature are the oral cavity, axillary region, temporal artery, and skin surface, such as the forehead, abdomen, and axilla. True core body temperature is assessed in the rectum, tympanic membrane, pulmonary artery, esophagus, and urinary bladder.
Oral: When assessing oral temperature, the thermometer tip should be placed under the tongue in the posterior sublingual pocket. It offers accurate readings and can be...
Every organism has an optimum temperature range within which healthy growth and physiological functioning can occur. At the ends of this range, there will be a minimum and maximum temperature that interrupt biological processes.
When the environmental dynamics fall out of the optimal limit for a given species, changes in metabolism and functioning occur – and this is defined as stress. Plants respond to stress by initiating changes in gene expression - leading to adjustments in plant...
Peripheral thermosensation is the perception of external temperature. A change in temperature (on the surface of the skin and other tissues) is detected by a family of temperature-sensitive ion channels called Transient Receptor Potential, or TRP, receptors. These receptors are located on free nerve endings. Those detecting cold temperatures are closer to the surface of the skin than the nerve endings detecting warmth. These thermoTRP channels, while temperature selective, have relatively...
The spontaneity of a process depends upon the temperature of the system. Phase transitions, for example, will proceed spontaneously in one direction or the other depending upon the temperature of the substance in question. Likewise, some chemical reactions can also exhibit temperature-dependent spontaneities. To illustrate this concept, the equation relating free energy change to the enthalpy and entropy changes for the process is considered:
The spontaneity of a process, as reflected in the...
