  12.地球变暖冰川融化(已考古)

  【考古】

  【版本1】

  前面太简单,看我记的程度就知道,导致我时间不够了。大致是说地球变暖使得北极冰川融化,引起洋流变化,一部分冰水下沉,继而影响到赤道的温度。。。

  【版本2】

  atlantic海水冷了,原因竟然是因为CO2造成的温室效应。

  第一段:是说北美海水冷,paradoxly,是由于CO2过多造成的南极冰川融化导致的

  第二段:讲说本来是Gulf 暖流会把热带的海水带到大西洋然后给它加温的,有一个process,我考到这个process的细节题,但是因为南极冰水的注入,使得这个process被打乱了所以大西洋海水反而冷了。

  【版本3】

  什么现象是全球变暖,冰川融化的结果,第二段说了一个理论,冷的更密度大的水进OCEAN之后的影响

  【版本4】

  洋流让北半球变冷的那道

  第一段:说有一个mini-ice age要imminent,原因竟然是全球变暖,然后就解释了一下为什么,就是说南极的冷水流入大西洋,和一个什么洋流碰上了,那个洋流的作用是吧来自tropic(这词不明白)的热量散发到大气里,会让大西洋两边都变暖,剩下的忘了。

  第二段:这里出现一个trans开头的circular结尾的词,有两道定位题围绕它出,就是这个词的意思就是当暖流的热量放出后,冷水就会sink到海平面下1英里的地方去,然后说由于冷水流,以前冷热水交汇的点会往南移(不明白什么意思,好在没出题),这样导致一种V开头的什么现象会减缓最终停止。

  【版本5】

  还有一篇是关于大西洋变冷的。说现在进入了一个小冰河期。平常从墨西哥湾流出来的暖流能给大西洋两岸提供热量,所以导致两岸的温度不是很低。现在由于某种作用,水变冷了之后沉到下面去了,所以不能再给大西洋两岸提供热量,导致气温变冷。有一题是问水变冷了之后沉到水下有什么后果,我选的是导致大西洋两岸的陆地气温下降。

  【版本6】

  科学家提出一个推测说会出现一个小型冰川效应气温会降低。有意思的是小型冰川效应却是由温室效应引起的。内容其他战友已经挖掘的差不多了,我就分享一下逻辑关系吧。

  gulf会将从赤道的暖流往北推-流动途中会将沿途温度提升-温度降低了的水会沉到海面一英里下(隐含:这里就是暖流结束的地方-有考点叫某某front)

  由于温室效应-北极冰融-至北向南的寒流加强(gulf的暖流是至南向北)-将寒流暖流交汇处往南推(增加了交汇处往北的地区,这些地方无法被暖流加热于是总体温度降低)

  【版本7】

  假设性的小冰河世纪会来,就是那个水变冷的问题。基本框架是北极(or 南极?)的冰化了水往大西洋流,原本平衡大西洋俩岸温度的从赤道来的暖水会被阻慢。关于这个海水为啥变冷的地方有题。

  The Role of the Atlantic(大西洋) Conveyor in Climate

  The cold water discovered in the subtropical Atlantic by Ellis in 1751 was, as Rumford theorised, brought there by a current which had originated in the polar region; temperature measurements in the real ocean and computer models show there is a southward outflow(流出量) of cold deep water from the Arctic(北极的) throughout the Atlantic. This cold water is replaced by warm surface waters, which gradually give off their heat to the atmosphere as they flow northward towards Europe. This acts as a massive "central heating system" for all the land downwind.

  The heat released by this system is enormous: it measures around 10^15 W, equivalent to the output of a million large power stations. If we compare places in Europe with locations at similar latitudes on the North American continent, its fect becomes obvious. Bodö in Norway has average temperatures of -2°C in January and 14°C in July; Nome, on the Pacific Coast of Alaska at the same latitude, has a much colder -15°C in January and only 10°C in July7. And satellite(卫星) images show how the warm current keeps much of the Greenland-Norwegian Sea free of ice even in winter, despite the rest of the Arctic Ocean, even much further south, being frozen.

  If the Atlantic &aposConveyor Belt&apos circulation is switched off in a computer model, a different climate forms in the virtual world. There is little change in ocean temperatures near the Equator, but the North Atlantic region becomes much colder than it is in reality, and the South Atlantic and other parts of the Southern Hemisphere become warmer. This experiment reveals that the Atlantic circulation moves heat from the South Atlantic below the Equator across the tropics to the North Atlantic - the heat is not coming directly out of the tropical region.

  So Rumford did not get it quite right: the ocean currents do not seem to do much to cool the "excessive heats" of the tropics, although they certainly play an important role in preventing excessive cold in Britain, Scandinavia and the rest of Northern Europe.

  Some of my scientific colleagues have compared climates with and without the Atlantic &aposConveyor Belt&apos in computer simulations using coupled ocean-atmosphere models8. These show that without the ocean heating, air temperatures would cool by up to 10°C averaged over a year. The chill(寒冷) is greatest near Scandinavia, but extends to a lesser extent right across Europe and much of the Northern Hemisphere.
