Sea-ice switches and abrupt climate change

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2003
We propose that past abrupt climate changes were probably a result of rapid and extensive variations in sea-ice cover. We explain why this seems a perhaps more likely explanation than a purely thermohaline circulation mechanism. We emphasize that because of the significant influence of sea ice on the climate system, it seems that high priority should ...

Ice microphysics and climatic temperature feedback

Atmospheric Research, 1995
Abstract The potential effects of ice microphysics involving ice crystal size distribution and ice water path (IWP) on climatic temperature perturbations are investigated by using a one-dimensional radiative-turbulent climate model. We define a mean effective size, denoting the width of ice crystals weighted by the geometric cross section area, to ...

Ice cores and climatic change

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1977
The paper deals primarily with the use of stable isotopic ratios to determine the former climate of ice sheets. Studies of temperature profiles throughout ice sheets have shown that for at least several thousand years, changes of isotopic δ ratios have been proportional to changes of surface temperatures; this relationship is discussed in terms of the ...

Ice Road Operation and Climate Change

SNAME 11th International Conference and Exhibition on Performance of Ships and Structures in Ice, 2014
Changes in air temperatures from 1970 to 2013 due to climate change in the Northern regions can have a serious effect on the construction and use of ice roads. The construction of ice roads in the early winter season is dependent on the ability of the area weather to freeze a working surface for the use of heavy equipment.

Ice and Climate Studies

1989
During the last 10 or 20 years, interest in the continental cryosphere (I do not consider sea ice) as a component of the climate system has increased tremendously. There seem to be two main reasons for this. In the first place, deep drilling on the major ice sheets and subsequent analysis of the ice cores has established a unique record of climate ...

Climatic change and river ice breakup

Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering, 2003
The flow hydrograph, thickness of the winter ice cover, and stream morphology are three climate-influenced factors that govern river ice processes in general and ice breakup and jamming in particular. Considerable warming and changes in precipitation patterns, as predicted by general circulation models (GCMs) for various increased greenhouse-gas ...

Carbonate Deposition, Climate Stability, and Neoproterozoic Ice Ages

Science, 2003
The evolutionary success of planktic calcifiers during the Phanerozoic stabilized the climate system by introducing a new mechanism that acts to buffer ocean carbonate-ion concentration: the saturation-dependent preservation of carbonate in sea-floor sediments.
