A first-order global model of Late Cenozoic climate change: orbital forcing as a "pacemaker" of the ice ages / Barry Saltzman.
Title: | A first-order global model of Late Cenozoic climate change: orbital forcing as a "pacemaker" of the ice ages / Barry Saltzman. |
Author(s): | Saltzman, Barry. |
Date: | 1993. |
Publisher: | Washington, DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration |
Abstract: | Theory of development of Quaternary climate is incomplete unless embedded in more general theory for fuller Cenozoic that can accommodate onset of ice-age fluctuations. Constructs simple mathematical model for Late Cenozoic climatic changes based on hypothesis that forced and free variations of concentration of atmospheric greenhouse gases (notably CO₂), coupled with changes in deep ocean state and ice mass, under additional "pacemaking" influence of earth--orbital forcing, are primary determinants of climatic state over this period. Goal is to illustrate how single model governing very long-term variations and higher-frequency oscillatory variations in Pleistocene can be formulated with relatively few adjustable parameters. |
Notes: | Offprint: Orbital, rotational and climatic interactions. Report of a Workshop ... held at the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, July 9-11, 1991 / Bruce G. Bills, ed. |
