A Smorgasbord of Actions and Reactions in the Arctic causing Global Climate System Disruption
In the last few videos I chatted about the amazing new research showing that the entire Arctic Ocean was filled with freshwater covered by very thick shelf ice and sea ice, not just once, but twice in the last 150,000 years.
Now I talk about a slew of recent research papers on some of the ramifications one consequences of our changing Arctic on the overall climate system.
Specifically, I discuss:
(a) How the climate has changed rapidly during periods of rapid sea-ice decline in the Arctic
(b) How Arctic sea-ice plays a pacemaker role in abrupt global climate change
(c) How Arctic sea ice loss in the past is linked to abrupt climate events
(d) How salt concentrations in ice cores can unveil DO (Dansgaard-Oeschger) events’ recipe
(e) How abrupt climate change events from the past could help predict the ones ahead
(f) How rapid Arctic warming in the past has shifted Southern Hemisphere ocean winds
(g) How uneven warming around the globe shifts the equatorial rain band and mid latitude westerlies
(h) How ozone depletion can trump (sorry for using this word) Greenhouse gas increases in Jet stream shift
(I) How record high Arctic freshwater flows to the Labrador Sea, affecting local and global oceans
Lots of topics, but please Google the article titles I discuss for more information; they are all open source...
