Statistical Outcomes

Statistical Outcomes. IPCC 2007. Up to 40 percent decrease in the efficiency of the Southern Ocean sink over the last 20 years Strengthening of the winds around Antarctica increases exposure of carbon-rich deep waters Strengthening of the winds due to global warming and the ozone hole.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Statistical Outcomes IPCC 2007

  2. Up to 40 percent decrease in the efficiency of the Southern Ocean sink over the last 20 years Strengthening of the winds around Antarctica increases exposure of carbon-rich deep waters Strengthening of the winds due to global warming and the ozone hole Declining efficiency of the ocean sink Le Quéré et al. 2007, Science

  3. Increased Carbon Dioxide amounts Global Air Temperature Increases Water vapor positive feedback Increased Greenhouse Absorption Increased Water Vapor In Atmosphere

  4. More rapid warming at poles Ice-albedo feedback Atmospheric warming radiative positive feedback, fast Increased ocean absorption of sun’s energy Melting of ice Lower reflectivity of ocean surface

  5. Atmospheric warming emissions cycle positive feedback, slow Increased emissions Decreased efficiency of carbon sinks

  6. Atmospheric warming Accelerated carbon cycle positive feedback, potentially fast Death of forests Release of CO2 Rotting and burning of organic matter

  7. Atmospheric warming Methane cycle positive feedback, potentially fast Release of CH4 and CO2 Melting of permafrost Rotting of organic matter
