Evaluation of a Variable Mixing Efficiency Parameterization on the Simulation of Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) Oceanic Circulation

Creator:

Thorstensson, Danil

Abstract:

This study tested the utility of a variable mixing efficiency formulation proposed by Mashayek, et al. (2017) for use in oceanographic models other than the modern, pre-industrial ocean. This formulation is used to calculate diapycnal (vertical) mixing due to unresolved subgrid-scale processes. Results from Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) simulations for...

Atmospheric nitrous oxide in the pre-800 ka atmosphere from ice cores from the Allan Hills, Antarctica

Creator:

Stock, Marika P.

Abstract:

Nitrous oxide is an important greenhouse gas that has both natural and anthropogenic sources in the modern atmosphere (Ciais et al., 2013). This project expanded the knowledge of the history of atmospheric N2O in the geologic past by measuring N2O concentrations in air trapped in very old polar ice. A...
