MARC recordApplication of wavelet analysis for examining climate and meltwater runoff in the Paakitsoq region, West Greenland / Jonathan D. Fuhrmann.
| Title: | Application of wavelet analysis for examining climate and meltwater runoff in the Paakitsoq region, West Greenland / Jonathan D. Fuhrmann. |
| Author(s): | Fuhrmann, Jonathan D. |
| Date: | 2012. |
| Abstract: | Investigates relationship between net shortwave radiation, air temperature and proglacial discharge from Greenland Ice Sheet, in order to establish discharge variability on short (<1-3 day) timescales and driving of this by meteorological factors. Analyzes time series from 1997-2005, using continuous wavelet transform to examine interannual, seasonal, diurnal, and other variations in dimensions of time, frequency and amplitude; and multivariate analysis of covariances and their evolution. Identifies diurnal fluctuations in all time series, of varying magnitudes and duration and consistency of presence. Finds that air temperature covaries with discharge on shorter (up to 1 day) timescales, while net radiation exhibits stronger coherence with discharge on longer (3-4 days) timescales. |
