Initial Development of an Interdisciplinary Data Base for Evaluation of Volcanism-Climate Linkages

Zielinski, Gregory University of New Hampshire为了可靠地评估火山活动对大气的影响，特别是对每年到十年时间框架内气候变化的影响，需要汇编关于火山气溶胶全球分布的适当信息，这些气溶胶产生的光学深度，以及火山喷发产物对气候影响的证据。要实现这一目标，需要建立一个能够解析这些参数的数据库。有几个不同的来源能够提供这类信息，包括：火山作用的冰芯记录、火山作用的气候影响的树木年轮记录、地质沉积物和与大气气溶胶负荷有关的大气现象记录。该SGER奖支持多参数数据库的初步开发，以包括来自所有这些来源的信息，从而提供火山作用的气候强迫能力的全面汇编。

Abstract ATM-9619873 Zielinski, Gregory University of New Hampshire Title: Initial Development of an Interdisciplinary Data Base for the Evaluation of Volcanism-Climate Linkages To reliably assess the impact of volcanism on the atmosphere and specifically on climate change over annual to decadal time frames requires the compilation of appropriate information on the global distribution of volcanic aerosols, the resulting optical depth of those aerosols, and evidence of the climatic impact of the eruptive products. Attaining this goal requires the establishment of a data base that can resolve these parameters. Several different sources are able to provide this type of information including: ice core records of volcanism, tree ring records of the climatic impact of volcanism, geologic deposits and records of atmospheric phenomena related to the atmospheric loading of aerosols. This SGER award supports the initial development of a multiparameter data base to include information from all of these sources thereby providing a thorough compilation of the climate forcing capabilities of volcanism.
