These intervals are often analyzed for volcanic
sulfate by ice core scientists.
Not exact matches
Elsewhere in the world, volcanoes were erupting, as shown
by higher levels of
sulfates in
ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica.
Also, the Greenland
ice core data do agree pretty good with
sulfate emissions estimates, but Greenland is located downwind of the US and Canada and does not represent global trends impacted
by developing countries.
Vinnikov et al. (1999) used the aforementioned GFDL and Hadley Centre climate models, forced
by greenhouse gases and
sulfate aerosols, to project how Arctic sea
ice extent would change in the future.
Global solar irradiance reconstruction [48 — 50] and
ice - core based
sulfate (SO4) influx in the Northern Hemisphere [51] from volcanic activity (a); mean annual temperature (MAT) reconstructions for the Northern Hemisphere [52], North America [29], and the American Southwest * expressed as anomalies based on 1961 — 1990 temperature averages (b); changes in ENSO - related variability based on El Junco diatom record [41], oxygen isotopes records from Palmyra [42], and the unified ENSO proxy [UEP; 23](c); changes in PDSI variability for the American Southwest (d), and changes in winter precipitation variability as simulated
by CESM model ensembles 2 to 5 [43].
Gagné and colleagues showed that
sulfate aerosol particles, which are released
by the burning of fossil fuels, may have disguised the impact of greenhouse gases on Arctic sea
ice.
