The presence of the additional land area has been postulated to enhance convective rainfall, facilitating both increased silicate weathering and the development of the modern‐day Walker circulation. Using an Earth System Model in conjunction with a climate‐silicate weathering model, we argue instead for a significant role of SEAI topography for both effects. SEAI topography increases orographic rainfall over land, through intercepting moist Asian‐Australian monsoon winds and enhancing land‐sea breezes. Large‐scale atmospheric uplift over the SEAI region increases by ∼14% as a consequence of increased rainfall over the SEAI and enhancement through dynamical ocean‐atmosphere feedback. The atmospheric zonal overturning circulation over the Indo‐Pacific increases modestly arising from dynamical ocean‐atmosphere feedback, more strongly over the tropical Indian Ocean. On the other hand, the effect of the SEAI topography on global silicate weathering is substantial, resulting in a ∼109 ppm reduction in equilibrium pCO2 and decrease in global mean temperature by ∼1.7ºC. The chemical weathering increase comes from both enhanced physical erosion rates and increased rainfall due to the presence of SEAI topography. The lowering of pCO2 by SEAI topography also enhances the Indo‐Pacific atmospheric zonal overturning circulation. Our results support a significant role for the progressive emergence of SEAI topography in global cooling over the last several million years.","PeriodicalId":54239,"journal":{"name":"Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140273472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Insolation variations are understood to play a vital role in these ice ages, yet their exact effect is still unknown; the 100 Kyr ice ages may be explained in two different ways. They could be purely insolation‐driven, such that ice ages are a consequence of insolation variations and would not have existed without these variations. Or, ice ages may be self‐sustained oscillations, where they would have existed even without insolation variations. We develop several observable measures that are used to differentiate between the two scenarios and can help to determine which one is more likely based on the observed proxy record. We demonstrate these analyses using two representative models. First, we find that the self‐sustained model best fits the ice volume proxy record for the full 800‐Kyr time period. Next, the same model also shows a 100 Kyr peak consistent with observations, yet the insolation‐driven model exhibits a dominant 400 Kyr spectral peak inconsistent with observations. Our third measure indicates that midpoints in ice volume during terminations do not always occur during the same phase of insolation in both observations and the self‐sustained scenario, whereas they do in the insolation‐driven scenario. While some of these results suggest that the self‐sustained ice ages are more consistent with the observed record, they rely on simple representations of the two scenarios. To draw robust conclusions, a broader class of models should be tested using this method of producing observable differences.","PeriodicalId":54239,"journal":{"name":"Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140275963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study further explores how changes in Southern Ocean carbon cycling contributed to these millennial‐scale fluctuations in climate. Evidence from South Atlantic sediment cores suggests that warming events were associated with decreased dust‐borne iron flux, reduced export production, and increased upwelling from the deep Southern Ocean (SO). These processes are considered to have contributed to rising atmospheric CO2 during periods of rapid warming. Here we investigate whether the same processes occurred in the southwest Pacific sector of the SO at TAN1106‐28. We show that reduced New Zealand glaciation and localized iron limitation in the southwest Pacific led to reduced export production during millennial‐scale warming events. Decreases in foraminifera‐bound δ15N during all MIS‐3 warming events may reflect increased nutrient supply by upwelling. Increased calcium carbonate flux during MIS‐3 warming events likely reflects coccolithophore production in response to sea surface temperatures, which, would increase carbonate counter pump strength and reduce CO2 sequestration. Concomitant decreases in bottom water oxygen, inferred from redox‐sensitive U and Mn sediment concentrations, and increases in the 14C age of deep waters, suggest that old, nutrient‐rich waters influenced southwest Pacific middepth waters during warming events. This signature may reflect an expansion of Pacific Deep Water into the SO during warming. Taken together, our multi‐proxy data set reveals that the southwest subantarctic Pacific acted as a source of CO2 during millennial‐scale warming events of MIS‐3.","PeriodicalId":54239,"journal":{"name":"Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140282476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In our current climate trajectory, meltwater discharge is expected to significantly increase but its long‐term effects on fjord productivity are still poorly constrained. Paleo‐archives can offer valuable insights into long‐term effects. Here, we present two marine sediment core records from Nuup Kangerlua, Southwest Greenland. Our goal is to better understand to what extent, and on what time‐scales, climate fluctuations and associated glacier dynamic changes have impacted fjord productivity over the past ca. 3300 years. Our multiproxy records include diatom fluxes and assemblage composition, sediment biogeochemistry, and grain‐size distribution. Our study reveals that fjord productivity is tightly linked to regional climate variability; relatively higher productivity levels coincided with mild climate periods whereas the climate cooling of the last millennium led to a decrease in productivity. The diatom records suggest that lower productivity is associated with shorter or less intense summer blooms, increased sea‐ice cover and/or a stratified water column. Diatom assemblages demonstrate cold sea‐surface conditions around 1600 CE that might be linked to local advance of glaciers. Cold conditions and decreasing productivity culminated at 1850 CE, when glaciers in the fjord retreated and high glacial meltwater discharge would have altered the fjord hydrography, likely leading to limited nutrient availability. Our long‐term records support the idea that changing climate and cryosphere conditions have a non‐linear impact on the productivity of Greenlandic fjords.","PeriodicalId":54239,"journal":{"name":"Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140409291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These periods of abrupt CO2 increase are associated with a significant weakening of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC), and a warming at high southern latitudes. As such, modeling studies have explored the link between changes in AMOC, high southern latitude climate and atmospheric CO2. While proxy records suggest that the aeolian iron input to the Southern Ocean decreased significantly during HS, the potential impact on CO2 of reduced iron input combined with oceanic circulation changes has not been studied in detail. Here, we quantify the respective and combined impacts of reduced iron fertilization and AMOC weakening on CO2 by performing numerical experiments with an Earth system model under boundary conditions representing 40,000 years before present (ka). Our study indicates that reduced iron input can contribute up to 6 ppm increase in CO2 during an idealized Heinrich stadial. This is caused by a 5% reduction in nutrient utilization in the Southern Ocean, leading to reduced export production and increased carbon outgassing from the Southern Ocean. An AMOC weakening under 40ka conditions and without changes in surface winds leads to a ∼0.5 ppm CO2 increase. The combined impact of AMOC shutdown and weakened iron fertilization is almost linear, leading to a total CO2 increase of 7 ppm. Therefore, this study highlights the need of including changes in aeolian iron input when studying the processes leading to changes in atmospheric CO2 concentration during HS.","PeriodicalId":54239,"journal":{"name":"Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140463489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For most of the deglaciation, Sr/Ca seasonality was similar to modern (0.139 ± 0.010 mmol mol−1; 2.8 ± 0.2°C) reflecting the small change in insolation seasonality. However, during the Younger Dryas, high values in Sr/Ca seasonality (0.171 ± 0.017 mmol mol−1; 3.4 ± 0.3°C) suggest a reduced mixed layer depth and enhanced influence of the South Pacific Subtropical Gyre due to South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) inactivity. Furthermore, high amplitudes in Younger Dryas skeletal δ18O (0.40 ± 0.22 ‰) and δ13C (0.86 ± 0.22 ‰) seasonality compared to modern (δ18O = 0.29 ± 0.08 ‰; δ13C = 0.27 ± 0.08 ‰) point to elevated winter‐summer discrepancies in rainfall and runoff. Mean coral Sr/Ca variability suggests an influence of Northern Hemisphere climate events, such as the Younger Dryas cooling (+0.134 ± 0.012 mmol mol−1;−2.6 ± 0.2°C), or the Bølling–Allerød warming (+0.032 ± 0.040 mmol mol−1; −0.6 ± 0.4°C). Deglacial mean coral Δδ18O (δ18Oseawater contribution to skeletal δ18O), corrected for the ice volume effect, was elevated pointing to more saline, thus dryer conditions, likely due to a northward migration of the SPCZ.

Not only can coral‐based records extend for multiple centuries beyond the limits of the instrumental record, but they can also provide a more accurate representation of in situ conditions than gridded interpolated sea‐surface temperature (SST) products for nearshore reef environments. We use the coral Sr/Ca paleothermometer to produce a 150‐year (1830–1980 C.E.) monthly SST reconstruction from an O. faveolata colony collected in the Marquesas Keys, FL, USA. An important feature of our record is a significant 20th‐century warming trend in winter SSTs. We hypothesize that the winter warming trend was driven partially by a decrease in upwelling associated cyclonic eddies spinning off the Florida Current. A long‐term weakening of winter Florida Current transport over the 20th century could be responsible for decreased cyclonic eddy formation in the Florida Straits. Another feature of the record is pronounced multidecadal fluctuations of mean annual warming and cooling in the record, which correspond to Atlantic Multidecadal Variability (AMV), with the AMV lagging behind western Florida Keys temperatures by 5–11 years. Strong coherence between coral‐based SST reconstructions in the western Florida Keys with broader scale Atlantic oceanographic trends over the past century suggests a common driver of regional SST variability.","PeriodicalId":54239,"journal":{"name":"Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140468046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
