premii Ad Astra

Asociația Ad Astra a anunțat câștigătorii Premiilor Ad Astra 2022: http://premii.ad-astra.ro/. Proiectul și-a propus identificarea și popularizarea modelelor de succes, a rezultatelor excepționale ale cercetătorilor români din țară și din afara ei.

Asociatia Ad Astra a cercetatorilor romani lanseaza BAZA DE DATE A CERCETATORILOR ROMANI DIN DIASPORA. Scopul acestei baze de date este aceea de a stimula colaborarea dintre cercetatorii romani de peste hotare dar si cu cercetatorii din Romania. Cercetatorii care doresc sa fie nominalizati in aceasta baza de date sunt rugati sa trimita un email la cristian.presura@gmail.com

Conceptual model for millennial climate variability: a possible combined solar-thermohaline circulation origin for the ~1,500-year cycle

Rezumat:

Dansgaard-Oeschger and Heinrich events are the most pronounced climate changes over the last 120,000 years. Although many of their properties were derived from climate reconstructions, the associated physical mechanisms are not yet fully understood. These events are paced by a ~1500 year periodicity whose origin remains unclear. In a conceptual model approach, we show that this millennial variability can originate from rectification of an external (solar) forcing, possibly through a threshold response of the thermohaline circulation. We argue that internal threshold response of the THC to solar forcing is more likely to produce the observed DO/H cycles than amplification by THC of weak, direct ~1500 year forcing of an unknown origin. As one consequence of our concept, the millennial variability is viewed as a derived mode without physical processes on its characteristic time scale. In contrast, the mode results from the linear representation in the Fourier space of nonlinearly transformed fundamental modes.
