Vostok ice core: a continuous isotope temperature record over the last climatic cycle (160,000 years)
Jean Jouzel,C. Lorius,Jean-Robert Petit,Christophe Genthon,Nartsiss I. Barkov,V. M. Kotlyakov,V. M. Petrov +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a deuterium profile along the 160,000-year Vostok ice core (Antarctica) is interpreted in terms of atmospheric temperature changes, which is the awaited terrestrial complement of the deep-sea records supporting the existence of a relation between the Pleistocene climate and orbital forcing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extending the Vostok ice-core record of palaeoclimate to the penultimate glacial period
Jean Jouzel,Jean Jouzel,Nartsiss I. Barkov,J. M. Barnola,Michael L. Bender,Michael L. Bender,Jérôme Chappellaz,Christophe Genthon,V. M. Kotlyakov,Vladimir Ya. Lipenkov,C. Lorius,J. R. Petit,J. R. Petit,Dominique Raynaud,Grant M. Raisbeck,Catherine Ritz,Todd Sowers,Michel Stievenard,Françoise Yiou,Pascal Yiou +19 more
TL;DR: The ice-core record of local temperature, dust accumulation and air composition at Vostok station, Antarctica, now extends back to the penultimate glacial period (∼140-200 kyr ago) and the end of the preceding interglacial as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ground‐based measurements of spatial and temporal variability of snow accumulation in East Antarctica
Olaf Eisen,Olaf Eisen,Massimo Frezzotti,Christophe Genthon,Elisabeth Isaksson,Olivier Magand,Michiel R. van den Broeke,Daniel A. Dixon,Alexey A. Ekaykin,Per Holmlund,Takao Kameda,L. Karlöf,Susan Kaspari,Vladimir Ya. Lipenkov,Hans Oerter,Shuhei Takahashi,David G. Vaughan +16 more
TL;DR: In this article, an overview of the various measurement techniques, related difficulties, and limitations of data interpretation; describe spatial characteristics of East Antarctic SMB and issues related to the spatial and temporal representativity of measurements; and provide recommendations on how to perform in situ measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI

A. Rotman,Deianeira Z. Stockwell,Peter van Velthoven,Gé Verver,Oliver Wild,Hu Yang,Peter H. Zimmermann +29 more
TL;DR: In this article, simulations of 222Rn and other short-lived tracers are used to evaluate and intercompare the representations of convective and synoptic processes in 20 global atmospheric transport models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulated Antarctic precipitation and surface mass balance at the end of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present simulations of the Antarctic climate for the end of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries with a stretched-grid atmospheric general circulation model, allowing for high horizontal resolution (60 km) over Antarctica.
