''... worked with two sediment cores they extracted from the seabed of the eastern Norwegian
Sea, developing a 1000 - year proxy
temperature record «based on measurements of δ18O in Neogloboquadrina pachyderma, a planktonic foraminifer that calcifies at relatively shallow depths within the Atlantic waters of the eastern Norwegian
Sea during late summer,» which they compared with the temporal histories of various proxies of concomitant solar activity... This work revealed, as the seven scientists describe it, that «the lowest isotope values (highest
temperatures) of the last millennium are seen ~ 1100 - 1300 A.D., during the Medieval Climate Anomaly, and again after ~ 1950 A.D.» In between these two warm intervals, of course, were the colder
temperatures of the Little Ice Age, when oscillatory thermal minima occurred at the times of the Dalton, Maunder, Sporer and Wolf solar minima, such that the δ18O proxy record of near -
surface water
temperature was found to be «robustly and near - synchronously correlated with various proxies of solar
variability spanning the last millennium,» with decade - to
century - scale
temperature variability of 1 to 2 °C magnitude.»
The research will be directed toward using a combined observational and modeling approach to investigate the nature and cause of the Congo rainfall
variability in the 20st
century, with an emphasis on the role of global
sea surface temperatures.
The simulated
sea surface temperature variability from two global coupled climate models for the second half of the 20th
century is dominated by natural internal
variability associated with the Antarctic Oscillation, suggesting that the models» internal
variability is too strong, leading to a response to anthropogenic forcing that is too weak.
Published in the Journal of Climate, authors Richard Seager and Martin Hoerling cleverly used climate models forced by
sea surface temperatures to separate how much of the past
century's North American droughts have been caused by ocean
temperatures, natural
variability, and humans.
