上新世晚期,随着北方冰川作用的加强,全球气候发生了剧烈的变化。在这段时间内,北大西洋洋流(NAC)的强度和位置是如何变化的,人们仍然知之甚少。这种变化可能会改变向北的热量输送量,因此对环北大西洋区域的气候和北方冰盖的增长产生重大影响。使用烯酮生物标志物,我们重建了368 - 245万年前(Ma)上新世晚期和更新世早期的综合大洋钻探项目(IODP)306考察站U1313的轨道分辨海表温度(SST)和生产力记录。在3.1Ma以前,北大西洋中纬度海温比现在高6 ° C,表层水生产力较低,表明一次强烈的NAC将温暖、营养贫乏的表层沃茨向北输送。从3.1Ma开始,随着NHG的加剧,地表水特征发生了急剧变化。在晚上新世末和更新世初的冰期,SST下降,地表水生产力在中纬度北大西洋增加,反映了NAC在我们的网站的影响减弱。与此同时,地表生产力的增加表明,北极锋(AF)向下延伸到中纬度地区。我们认为,在加强的NHG的NAC有一个几乎纯粹的西向东流动的冰川方向,并没有渗透到高纬度地区。向北的热量输送减少会导致高纬度地区的冷却,这可能会促进北方大陆冰盖的增长。
During the late Pliocene global climate changed drastically as the Northern Hemisphere glaciation (NHG) intensified. It remains poorly understood how the North Atlantic Current (NAC) changed in strength and position during this time interval. Such changes may alter the amount of northward heat transport and therefore have a large impact on climate in the circum-North Atlantic region and the growth of Northern Hemisphere ice sheets. Using the alkenone biomarker we reconstructed orbitally resolved sea surface temperature (SST) and productivity records at Integrated Ocean Drilling Project (IODP) Expedition 306 Site U1313 during the late Pliocene and early Pleistocene, 3.68–2.45million years ago (Ma). Before 3.1Ma, SSTs in the mid-latitude North Atlantic were up to 6°C higher than the present and surface water productivity was low, indicating that an intense NAC transported warm, nutrient-poor surface waters northwards. Starting at 3.1Ma, surface water characteristics changed drastically as the NHG intensified. During glacial periods at the end of the late Pliocene and beginning of the Pleistocene, SSTs decreased and surface water productivity in the mid-latitude North Atlantic increased, reflecting a weakened influence of the NAC at our site. At the same time the increase in surface productivity suggests that the Arctic Front (AF) reached down into the mid-latitudes. We propose that during the intensification of the NHG the NAC had an almost pure west to east flow direction in glacials and did not penetrate into the higher latitudes. The diminished northward heat transport would have led to a cooling of the higher latitudes, which may have encouraged the growth of large continental ice sheets in the Northern Hemisphere.
