Millennial Cycles in Equatorial Atlantic Sediments: A Presumed Solar-Forced, Wind-Controlled Phenomenon Important in Modeling Ocean/Climate Dynamics

9313821麦金太尔：这项研究的目标是借助钙质浮游生物和同位素替代物，确定太阳强迫是否在千年时间尺度上改变了气候。这将分三个步骤完成。首先，将记录赤道大西洋表层水对气候控制的风变化的响应。其次，将这些信号与其他地区的时间序列进行比较，以确定这些短周期信号是否为全球信号。第三，需要构建海洋/气候千年响应的正弦波信号，以便与其他记录进行比较，并作为预测模板。

9313821 McIntyre The goal of this study is to determine if solar forcing alters climate at the millennial time scales with the help of calcareous planktonic and isotopic proxies. This will be done in three steps. First, the response of surface waters of equatorial Atlantic to climate controlled wind variations will be documented. Second, these signals will be compared with time series from other regions to determine if these short period signals are global. Third, a sine wave signal of millennial response of ocean/climate will need constructed which can be used bother for comparison with other records and as a predictive template.
