Sensitivity of the present-day climate to freshwater forcing associated with Antarctic sea-ice loss
The role played by Southern Hemisphere sea-ice in global climate is explored using an Earth system climate model of intermediate complexity. An ensemble of experiments is analysed where freshwater forcing equivalent to a complete 100 year meltback of Southern Hemisphere sea-ice is applied to a model run that simulates the present climate. This freshwater forcing acts to mildy subdue Southern Oc...

متن کاملBiogeography of terrestrial cyanobacteria from Antarctic ice-free areas
Cyanobacteria inhabit the Antarctic continent and have even been observed in the most southerly ice-free areas of Antarctica (86–878 S). The highest molecular diversity of cyanobacterial communities was found in the areas located between 708 S and 808 S. Further south and further north from this zone, the diversity abruptly decreased. Seventy-nine per cent (33 of 42 operational taxonomic units)...
متن کاملIce flow of the Antarctic ice sheet.
We present a reference, comprehensive, high-resolution, digital mosaic of ice motion in Antarctica assembled from multiple satellite interferometric synthetic-aperture radar data acquired during the International Polar Year 2007 to 2009. The data reveal widespread, patterned, enhanced flow with tributary glaciers reaching hundreds to thousands of kilometers inland over the entire continent. Thi...
متن کاملBlue Nile Runoff Sensitivity to Climate Change
This study describes implementation of hydrological climate change impact assessment tool utilising a combination of statistical spatiotemporal downscaling and an operational hydrological model known as the Nile Forecasting System. A spatial rainfall generator was used to produce high-resolution (daily, 20km) gridded rainfall data required by the distributed hydrological model from monthly GCM ...
