The Role of Nonlinear Interactions in Major Glaciation Cycles

摘要ATM-9523965 King，Teresa University of罗得岛题目：非线性相互作用在主要冰川作用中的作用 该奖项支持一项研究，该研究将利用一套有据可查的气候系统代理时间序列，以量化非线性气候系统相互作用在冰川循环中的作用。 有两个相关的目标：第一，量化在更新世期间，表面和深海代理数据之间的变化在空间和时间上是一致的，独立于轨道强迫;第二，客观地区分线性强迫，非线性耦合，和自由，或内部，非强迫变化。 这项研究工作的另一个好处是，将这些许多代理时间序列组装起来，形成一个数据档案。

Abstract ATM-9523965 King, Teresa University of Rhode Island Title: The Role of Nonlinear Interactions in Major Glaciation This award supports a study that will make use of a set of well- documented time series of climate system proxies in order to quantify the role of nonlinear climate system interactions in glaciation cycles. There are two related objectives: first, to quantify the extent to which variations between surface and deep ocean proxy data are spatially and temporally coherent during the Pleistocene, independent of orbital forcing; second, to objectively discriminate between linearly forced, nonlinearly coupled, and free, or internal, unforced variations. An additional benefit of this research effort will be a data archive resulting from the assembly of these many proxy time series.
