英文摘要 | Changes in the Greenland ice sheet (GIS) affect global sea level. Greenland stable water isotope (18O) records from ice cores offer information on past changes in the surface of the GIS. Here, we use the isotope-enabled Hadley Centre Coupled Model version 3 (HadCM3) climate model to simulate a set of last interglacial (LIG) idealised GIS surface elevation change scenarios focusing on GIS ice core sites. We investigate how 18O depends on the magnitude and sign of GIS elevation change and evaluate how the response is altered by sea ice changes. We find that modifying GIS elevation induces changes in Northern Hemisphere atmospheric circulation, sea ice and precipitation patterns. These climate feedbacks lead to ice-core-Averaged isotopic lapse rates of 0.49 (100 m)1 for the lowered GIS states and 0.29 (100 m)1 for the enlarged GIS states. This is lower than the spatially derived Greenland lapse rates of 0.62 0.72 (100 m)1. These results thus suggest nonlinearities in the isotope elevation relationship and have consequences for the interpretation of past elevation and climate changes across Greenland. In particular, our results suggest that winter sea ice changes may significantly influence isotope elevation gradients: winter sea ice effect can decrease (increase) modelled core-Averaged isotopic lapse rate values by about 19% (and C28 %) for the lowered (enlarged) GIS states, respectively. The largest influence of sea ice on 18O changes is found in coastal regions like the Camp Century site. © 2016 SPIE. All rights reserved. |
