Solving puzzle ice age climates: Southern Ocean & explanation for 'Last Glacial Maximum'
2014-06-03 12:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: The paleoclimate record for the last ice age -- a time 21,000 years ago called the "Last Glacial Maximum" (LGM) -- tells of a cold Earth whose northern continents were covered by vast ice sheets. Chemical traces from plankton fossils in deep-sea sediments reveal rearranged ocean water masses, as well as extended sea ice coverage off Antarctica. Air bubbles in ice cores show that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was far below levels seen before the Industrial Revolution. While ice ages are set...

Ocean storms can influence sea ice break-up, warns study
2014-06-01 12:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: Ocean waves larger than 3 metres in height can travel hundreds of kilometres below the ice before dispersing, scientists have shown. These higher waves have been gradually breaking up the surface of sea ice, highlighting the importance of monitoring sea storms. A New Zealand-led team has been running experiments off the coast of Antarctica, placing sensors along inward routes following the dispersal of the waves. At the ice edge, its quite noisy, Alison Kohout, leader of the team based out...
Big Waves Bust Up Sea Ice, May Be Playing Role in Melt
2014-05-28 19:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Big ocean waves whipped up by storms hundreds or even thousands of miles away from Earth's poles could play a bigger role in breaking up polar sea ice and thus contributing to its melt more than had been thought, a new study suggests. The study, detailed in the May 29 issue of the journal Nature, found that these waves penetrate further into the fields of sea ice around Antarctica than current models would suggest, breaking up the ice well away from the edge of the ice. And previous studies have...
