Recent data compilations of the early Last Interglacial period have indicated a bipolar temperature response at 130 ka, with colder-than-present temperatures in the North Atlantic and warmer-than-present temperatures in the Southern Ocean and over Antarctica. However, climate model simulations of this period have been unable to reproduce this response, when only orbital and greenhouse gas forci...

Lakes and glaciers are widely distributed on the Tibetan Plateau linked via hydrological processes. They experiencing rapid changes due to global warming, but their relationships during Holocene less well known limited coupled geological records. Here, we analyzed δ 13 C -VPDB 18 O values ion content of calcite aragonite in a 407-cm-long sediment core from Guozha Co, closed basin northwestern s...

We use two coupled climate models, GFDL-CM4 and GFDL-ESM4, to investigate the physical response of Southern Ocean changes in surface wind stress, Antarctic meltwater, combined forcing a pre-industrial control simulation. The meltwater cools ocean all regions except Weddell Sea, where stress warms near-surface layer. limited sensitivity Sea layer is due spatial distribution fluxes, regional bath...

Introduction: In contrast to a " warm and wet " early Mars climate scenario [1,2], recent Late Noachian GCMs produce mean annual temperatures (MAT) well below 0°C. Above a few tens of millibars, atmospheric-surface coupling yields adiabatic cooling [3] and creates a highlands cold trap leading to a Late Noachian Icy Highlands (LNIH) climate model [4]. Melting to account for the abundant LN fluv...
