This book was released on 2009 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Although the McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDV) of Antarctica lie within an archetypal cold-desert climate, research presented here shows that the MDV are best divided into a series of microclimatic zones, with each zone fostering a unique suite of landforms and geomorphic processes that are produced by, and in balance with, local summertime environmental conditions. To quantify better the relationship between microclimates and landforms, we conducted a series of field-based and numerical-modeling studies designed (1) to elucidate landform response to potential climate warming, (2) to determine past climate variation by reconstructing former ice-volume changes of outlet glaciers draining the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, and (3) to describe the range of processes that both produce and modify near-surface ice in each microclimatic zone. Results from a one dimensional heat diffusion equation coupled with a Mohr-Coulomb-based safety-factor model show that ice-cemented slope deposits in the upland microclimate zone would remain frozen, without failure from planar sliding, even if local summertime atmospheric temperatures were to warm by as much as 4 to 9°C. Given documented evidence for enduring geomorphic stability, the model results suggest that the maximum potential summertime warming in this zone since late Miocene time was 4 to 9°C. At lower elevations of the MDV, within the inland-mixed microclimatic zone, buried ice today experiences seasonal melting and modification via the formation of secondary ice; stream dissection, fan deposition, and active-layer cryoturbation also play major roles in modifying buried ice and overlying deposits. Finally, geomorphic analyses of nine moraines in Kennar Valley show that the East Antarctic Ice Sheet inland from the MDV has remained stable and robust ( -200 m of ice-elevation change) for at least the last -3.1 million years; chronologic control for the moraine sequence comes from cosmogenic 3 He analyses of surface boulders. Taken together, the results suggest that the modern microclimatic zonation of the MDV has persisted for at least the last 3.1 million years, making it one of the most climatically stable regions on Earth.

Download or read book Antarctic Palaeoenvironments and Earth Surface Processes written by M.J. Hambrey and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2013-12-05 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume highlights developments in our understanding of the palaeogeographical, palaeobiological, palaeoclimatic and cryospheric evolution of Antarctica. It focuses on the sedimentary record from the Devonian to the Quaternary Period. It features tectonic evolution and stratigraphy, as well as processes taking place adjacent to, beneath and beyond the ice-sheet margin, including the continental shelf. The contributions in this volume include several invited review papers, as well as original research papers arising from the International Symposium on Antarctic Earth Sciences in Edinburgh, in July 2011. These papers demonstrate a remarkable diversity of Earth science interests in the Antarctic. Following international trends, there is particular emphasis on the Cenozoic Era, reflecting the increasing emphasis on the documentation and understanding of the past record of ice-sheet fluctuations. Furthermore, Antarctic Earth history is providing us with important information about potential future trends, as the impact of global warming is increasingly felt on the continent and its ocean.
Download or read book Mixed Phase Clouds written by Constantin Andronache and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2017-09-28 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mixed-Phase Clouds: Observations and Modeling presents advanced research topics on mixed-phase clouds. As the societal impacts of extreme weather and its forecasting grow, there is a continuous need to refine atmospheric observations, techniques and numerical models. Understanding the role of clouds in the atmosphere is increasingly vital for current applications, such as prediction and prevention of aircraft icing, weather modification, and the assessment of the effects of cloud phase partition in climate models. This book provides the essential information needed to address these problems with a focus on current observations, simulations and applications. Provides in-depth knowledge and simulation of mixed-phase clouds over many regions of Earth, explaining their role in weather and climate Features current research examples and case studies, including those on advanced research methods from authors with experience in both academia and the industry Discusses the latest advances in this subject area, providing the reader with access to best practices for remote sensing and numerical modeling
