Changes in proxy
records, either physical (such as the isotopic composition of various elements in
ice) or biological (such as the width of a tree ring or the chemical composition of a
growth band in coral), do not respond precisely or solely to changes in any specific climate parameter (such as mean temperature or total rainfall), or to the changes in that parameter as measured over a specific «season» (such as June - August or January - December).
The surprising
record growth of
ice last winter was not repeated, obviously, largely because of the jet stream over the Pacific Arctic.
Using climate
records culled from tree rings, glacial -
ice layers and coral -
growth layers, the three professors — whose research was funded in part by the federal government — determined in 1998 that temperatures have skyrocketed in the past century compared with the 500 years preceding it.
The Cenozoic
record also reveals the amplification of climate change that occurs with
growth or decay of
ice sheets, as is apparent at about 34 Myr BP when the Earth became cool enough for large - scale glaciation of Antarctica and in the most recent 3 — 5 Myr with the
growth of Northern Hemisphere
ice sheets.
You need to burn a lot of vegetation to give a descernable increase in the (
ice or other)
records, the more that fresh
growth within the following years rapidely uses a lot of CO2.

Ice Age
The
ice extents for each day of the
growth season from December 2010 to March 2011 were significantly lower than those in previous years, and the values for most days were at
record lows for the satellite era.
Changes in proxy
records, either physical (such as the isotopic composition of various elements in
ice) or biological (such as the width of a tree ring or the chemical composition of a
growth band in coral), do not respond precisely or solely to changes in any specific climate parameter (such as mean temperature or total rainfall), or to the changes in that parameter as measured over a specific «season» (such as June to August or January to December).
Quantities such as tree ring widths, coral
growth, isotope variations in
ice cores, ocean and lake sediments, cave deposits, fossils,
ice cores, borehole temperatures, and glacier length
records are correlated with climatic fluctuations.
The
ice extent started the year with near -
record lows, but surprised everybody in March with an unexpected
growth surge that brought it back almost to the historical mean — statistical territory unseen for a long, long time.
«That particular cyclone, which lasted several days and raised temperatures in the region close to the melting point, hindered sea
ice growth while its associated strong winds pushed the sea
ice edge back, leading to a
record low spring sea
ice pack in 2016,» Petty and Boisvert explained.
