KHU Global Warming 이영식 2004. 10 KHU Global Warming – 3 Signs After a decade as Editor in Chief, I have a pretty good idea which articles will provoke a lot of angry letters. Whenever we publish stories that challenge widely held beliefs, some readers get mad, and they write to let us know. Well, we’re about to do it again. I’d willing to bet that we’ll get letters from readers who don’t believe global climate chagne is real, and that humans contribute to the problem. Some readers will even terminate their memberships. Why would I publish articles that make people angry enough to stop subscribing? That’s easy. These stories cover subjects that are too important to ignore. … From Bill Allen KHU KHU National Geographic Magazine 2004 Sept Geo Sign – The Earth has some unsetting news. – From Alaska to the snowy peaks of the Andes the world is heating up right now, and fast. Eco Sign – Flora and fauna are feeling the heat too. – These are not projects; they are facts on the ground. Time Sign – Maybe the current warming is just a passing thing? – Don’t bet on it, say climate experts. – Something else is driving the planet-wide fever. Greenhouse gas. KHU Geo signs In the mid-1800s the Unteraar Glacier was gouging its way through this steep valley of Switzerland’s central Alps. KHU Climate is changing KHU Retreating glaciers, rising seas, and shrinking lakes are some of the global changes already under way. The climate is changing at an unnerving pace. KHU Goodbye Glacier Runoff from the Bockkogel Glacier in the Tirol region of Austria plunges down a waterfall during the Alpine summer. Throughout the Alps, glaciers have been in decline for 150 years, a result of rising global temperatures. Most scientists who study the phenomenon attribute it in part to greenhouse effect. KHU Alaska Feeling the Heat KHU 추운 지방은 온난화에 민감 지난 삼십년 동안 평균 기온 화씨 4.16 도 상승 – in the northern city of Barrow, Alaska. – 침엽수는 날씨가 따뜻하고 건조하면 산불이 나기 쉽다. Snow and ice have a high albedo – they reflect a lot of solar energy. But as heat melts snow and ice, darker, less reflective land or water is exposed. More heat is absorbed, giving rise to further melting and warming. KHU Warming trends KHU Average Northern Hemisphere surface temp KHU Seasons Shift Researchers monitoring ice on Wisconsin's Lake Mendota discover that the ice cover on the lake averages about 40 fewer days now than it did 150 years ago. Winter, in Wisconsin, is losing its chill. KHU Looking Back Photograph by Peter Essick Tourists in the canton of Valais, Switzerland, stand at the site where the Rhone Glacier ended during the Little Ice Age in the mid-1800s. The glacier has since retreated up the valley as Alpine temperatures have risen. It can be seen in this photo peeking over a cliff in the distance. KHU Iceberg Factory The Marr Ice Piedmont, a glacier that ends near Palmer Station on the Antarctic Peninsula, crumbles into the sea. Elsewhere on the peninsula, a section of ice shelf larger than the state of Rhode Island broke apart in early 2002. The suspected culprit for such events? Climate warming. Average winter temperatures on the Antarctic Peninsula have risen nearly 9°F (5°C) since 1950. KHU Cut Down to Size the massive Columbia Glacier, located near Valdez in Prince William Sound, doesn't creep Between 1977 and 1999 its length decreased by eight miles (13 kilometers). The glacier is expected to lose another ten miles (20 kilometers) of length by 2010. KHU KHU Surface Temperature Anomaly KHU Eco Signs Fleischmann's glass frog, a declining species in parts of Costa Rica KHU From penguins to alpine flowers, animals and plants are coping with the heat—or they're not. KHU A Growing Concern Botanist Tad Day is seeing green. He's documenting the spread of the only two species of flowering plants known to grow in Antarctica: the antarctic hair grass and the antarctic pearlwort. At this offshore site on Anvers Island near Palmer Station, neither plant was detected in 1995. By 1999, 23 pearlworts and 94 hair grasses had appeared; this year Day tallied 294 pearlworts and 5,129 hair grasses. Warmer temperatures, he reasons, promote vegetative growth, cause larger percentages of seeds to germinate, and force glacial ice to recede, exposing more terrain for plants. KHU Uphill Climb Rapid warming in high mountains – May be forcing alpine flowers to compete with taller plants inching up from below – Helianthemum alpestre KHU Coral Damages KHU Coral Bleach KHU Time Signs KHU Computer scientist Jason Sun views multiple screens to monitor the intricate interplay of warm and cold ocean currents – a prime driver of Earth’s changing climate. What causes climate change? Could a climate "flip" happen virtually overnight? KHU Hard Core Glaciologists Victor Zagorodnov, left, and Patrick Ginot extract a section of a 550-foot (170-meter) core from the summit of Peru's Quelccaya ice cap, at an elevation of about 18,600 feet (5,670 meters). The ratio of certain oxygen isotopes in the ice varies with temperature, enabling scientists to distinguish cold periods from warm periods over thousands of years. Rising temperatures are causing Quelccaya—the world's largest tropical ice cap—to retreat rapidly. Its major outlet glacier has receded nearly 3,100 feet (950 meters) since 1963—the smallest it's been in about 5,000 years. KHU Frozen Histroy KHU Touching climate history The gloved hand of Tracy Mashiotta, a researcher at Ohio State's Byrd Polar Research Center, points to a dust band in an ice core from Peru's Quelccaya ice cap. The dust is swept up from Peru's high desert and deposited on the glacier each year during the dry season, creating the glacial equivalent of a tree's growth ring. Scientists use such data along with oxygen isotope ratios to extrapolate temperature and precipitation for each year. Such cores from Quelccaya have produced the longest annual climate record ever recovered from the tropics, dating back 2,200 years. KHU No High Ground It's pretty as a postcard from the air. You'd never guess that Male (above), the island capital of the Maldives, is threatened by the serenely blue Indian Ocean. If scientists' worst-case projections come true and sea level rises more than three feet, the Maldives and other low-lying atoll nations could be underwater by century's end. KHU Greenhouse Effect 지구의 평균온도 – 태양에너지와 거리를 고려하면 섭씨 -18도 – 실제 평균온도는 15도 – 수증기와 이산화탄소 • Fourier • Tyndall Greenhouse Effect – 이산화탄소는 적외선을 흡수한다 – 대기중 이산화탄소 농도는 증가하였다 – 지구의 평균 기온이 증가하였다 KHU Astronomical Rhythm KHU Link between ice ages and astronomical rhythms KHU Climate model vs. observed temperature KHU Global Ocean Circulation System KHU Great Conveyor Belt Thermohaline (temperature- and salinity-controlled density) circulation of the oceans can be simplistically defined by a great conveyor belt. In this model, warm, salty surface water is chilled and sinks in the North Atlantic to flow south towards Antarctica. There, it is cooled further to flow outward at the bottom of the oceans into the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific basins. After upwelling primarily in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, the water returns as surface flow to the North Atlantic. While traveling deep in the ocean the originally nutrient-depleted water becomes increasingly enriched by organic matter decomposition in important nutrients (e.g., phosphate, nitrate, silicate) and dissolved CO2.

KHU Global climate change Meteorologists agree that these exceptional conditions are signs that Global Climate Change is happening already. Scientists agree that the most likely cause of the changes are man-made emissions of the so-called "Greenhouse Gases" that can trap heat in the earth's atmosphere in the same way that glass traps heat in a greenhouse. Although there are six major groups of gases that contribute to Global Climate Change, the most common is Carbon Dioxide (CO2). KHU Greenhouse gas level hits record high Recordings from a volcano-top observatory, NOAA's Mauna Loa Observatory on Hawaii, showed carbon dioxide levels had risen to an average of about 376 parts per million (ppm) for 2003. This is 2.5 ppm up from the average for 2002. It is not the highest leap in year-on-year atmospheric carbon dioxide levels recorded by NOAA. But it is the first to be sustained, with 2002 levels up 2.5 ppm from 2001. http://www.newscientist.com/news/n ews.jsp?id=ns99994802 KHU Greenhouse effect is real KHU The day after tomorrow KHU 지구 에너지 균형 지구 에너지의 근원은 태양 표면에서 방출되는 열의 약 84%를 대기가 흡수 KHU VSEPR KHU 왜 적외선을 흡수하는가?

KHU Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change In response to growing scientific and political debate about the effects of human activities on Earth's climate, the UN Environmental Program and the World Meteorological Organization created the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1988. The Panel's purpose is not to conduct research or produce new data, but to evaluate climate data available primarily in peerreviewed, published scientific journals. The IPCC's third assessment report (TAR), issued in 2001, is a four-volume examination of the state of the world's climate and is the basis for much of the material in this month's series of articles on climate change. on the Web at www.ipcc.ch.
