Atmosphere-Snow Exchange Explains Surface Snow Isotope Variability

S. Wahl et al.

Summary: Research suggests that vapor-snow exchange influences surface snow isotopes during the summer, leading to biases in ice core records. This finding highlights the importance of considering the impact of vapor-snow exchange on signals when reconstructing paleoclimate from isotope records.

Interglacial Antarctic-Southern Ocean climate decoupling due to moisture source area shifts

A. Landais et al.

Summary: The interglacial temperature coupling between East Antarctica and the Southern Ocean is influenced by the position of moisture source regions, while the succession of cold glacials and warm interglacials during the Quaternary is driven by global climate responses to orbital configurations and greenhouse gas concentrations. Despite the impact of sea ice and ocean circulations on atmospheric CO2 concentrations, past changes in the Southern Ocean region are poorly documented. The study found that low obliquity leads to surface warming in evaporative moisture source regions during glacial inception, with synchronous or lagging temperature maxima in the two regions during interglacials depending on the existence of a temperature maximum at the interglacial onset.

Water Isotopic Signature of Surface Snow Metamorphism in Antarctica

Mathieu Casado et al.

Summary: The water isotope ratios in ice cores provide key information on past temperatures, with temperature imprinted in the isotopic composition of snowfalls. Surface snow metamorphism alters the isotopic composition, with long summer periods without precipitation favoring this alteration. Using excess parameters can help identify snow metamorphism in ice core sections with low snow accumulation.

Quantifying the Stable Water Isotopologue Exchange Between the Snow Surface and Lower Atmosphere by Direct Flux Measurements

S. Wahl et al.

Summary: Direct measurements of stable water isotopologue fluxes in polar areas revealed diurnal variations in different isotopologue fluxes. The isotopic composition of sublimation and deposition fluxes showed dependency on snow and vapor isotopic composition, respectively.

The role of sublimation as a driver of climate signals in the water isotope content of surface snow: laboratory and field experimental results

Abigail G. Hughes et al.

Summary: Recent studies show that vapor isotope changes are correlated with surface snow isotopes, suggesting the influence of post-depositional processes like sublimation on ice core water isotope records. Both laboratory experiments and field studies indicate that these processes contribute significant climate signals to the water isotopes in ice cores.

Local-scale deposition of surface snow on the Greenland ice sheet

Alexandra M. Zuhr et al.

Summary: The study characterizes local accumulation patterns and snow height evolution, revealing irregular deposition and erosion leading to uneven snow accumulation patterns, removal of over 60% of deposited snow, and a negative relationship between initial snow height and accumulated snow amount. The research demonstrates the potential influences of depositional processes on proxy signals in snow and ice.

Programme for Monitoring of the Greenland Ice Sheet (PROMICE) automatic weather station data

Robert S. Fausto et al.

Summary: The PROMICE programme has been monitoring climate and ice sheet properties in Greenland since 2007, with 25 instrumented sites in their automatic weather station network. Accurate measurements of surface and near-surface atmospheric conditions are crucial for assessing changes in the Greenland Ice Sheet.
