Climate over this and earlier periods has not been stable, as evidenced by the occurrence of abrupt changes in atmospheric circulation and temperature recorded in Antarctic ice core proxies for past climate. Two of the most prominent abrupt climate change events are characterized by intensification of the circumpolar westerlies (also known as the Southern Annular Mode) between ~6000 and 5000 years ago and since 1200-1000 years ago. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Reviews of Geophysics, 47(1), p. 1-38 | Publisher: | John Wiley & Sons, Inc | Place of Publication: | United States of America | ISSN: | 1944-9208 8755-1209 |
