«As a result, these changes in oceanic conditions are not inevitable, but instead depend on the immediate actions of all countries to materialize their commitment to limit greenhouse gas emissions as is being discussed in COP23 in Bonn, Germany, this week.»
Whereas the South Pole remains protected by differing geographic, atmospheric and oceanic conditions, the North Pole is undergoing rapid change not seen in at least 6,000 years and perhaps as much as 125,000 years, and which may spread to lower latitudes.
If we look into the ocean, then changes in the vertical temperature profiles may plausibly affect oceanic wave propagation, thus perturbing the conditions to which the delayed mechanism is sensitive.
Understanding how the ice shelf behaved in the past should help scientists to understand how it will respond to changing climatic and oceanic conditions in the future.
Such changes in oceanic environmental conditions will have negative consequences for marine life and organisms producing calcium carbonate (CaCO3) structures are amongst the most vulnerable due to the additional costs associated with calcification and maintenance of calcified structures under more acidic conditions.
«Simply put, the shape of the ice sheet and the contact with the ocean makes it likely that these areas respond more pronouncedly to changes in climate boundary conditions — be they atmospheric, oceanic or glaciological.»
If we look into the ocean, then changes in the vertical temperature profiles may plausibly affect oceanic wave propagation, thus perturbing the conditions to which the delayed mechanism is sensitive.
For example: could different oceanic circulation rates change the oceanic CO2 sink / source behaviour, or could different atmospheric conditions change the mixing rates of atmospheric gases hence modify their affect on the solar forcing?
The oceans, which provide part of the boundary conditions for the atmosphere, also have sufficient time to change appreciably, and the change in the oceanic state must be taken into account.
The decrease is related to a change in initial oceanic and atmospheric conditions compared to last month.
Requires the Climate Service Program to: (1) analyze the effects of weather and climate on communities; (2) carry out observations, data collection, and monitoring of atmospheric and oceanic conditions; (3) provide information and technical support to governmental efforts to assess and respond to climate variability and change; (4) develop systems for the management and dissemination of data; (5) conduct research to improve forecasting and understanding of weather and climate variability and change and its effects on communities; and (6) develop tools to facilitate the use of climate information by local and regional stakeholders.
The closure of the CAS changed the boundary conditions of the oceans and created a new state of the oceanic and atmospheric system.
To reach their conclusions, the researchers analyzed nearly 30 years of observational temperature and precipitation data and also used computer model simulations that considered soil, atmospheric, and oceanic conditions and projected changes in greenhouse gases.
The most likely candidate for that climatic variable force that comes to mind is solar variability (because I can think of no other force that can change or reverse in a different trend often enough, and quick enough to account for the historical climatic record) and the primary and secondary effects associated with this solar variability which I feel are a significant player in glacial / inter-glacial cycles, counter climatic trends when taken into consideration with these factors which are, land / ocean arrangements, mean land elevation, mean magnetic field strength of the earth (magnetic excursions), the mean state of the climate (average global temperature), the initial state of the earth's climate (how close to interglacial - glacial threshold condition it is) the state of random terrestrial (violent volcanic eruption, or a random atmospheric circulation / oceanic pattern that feeds upon itself possibly) / extra terrestrial events (super-nova in vicinity of earth or a random impact) along with Milankovitch Cycles.
