1. Reducing uncertainty in the climatic interpretations of speleothem δ18O
Catherine N Jex, S.J. Phipps, A. Baker, C. Bradley
DOI: 10.1002/grl.50467
→鍾乳石のδ18Oの解釈における大きな2つの問題、①地域的な気候とより大規模な大気循環の間に定常性があるとは限らないこと、②カルストの帯水層の中での水の循環、に着目し、モデルを用いて研究を行った。トルコの鍾乳石のδ18Oの記録と、「CSIRO Mk3L」という気候システムモデル、「KarstFOR」という水文学のモデルを用いて、1kaから、寒冷期の降水量と地域的な循環のダイナミクスに定常性があることを示した。
また、この2つのモデルを用いて過去500年の石筍のδ18Oの値を計算したところ、経年変動は再現できたが、16-17世紀の軽い同位体比の再現ができなかった。この問題を解決するには、気候システムモデルの方にも同位体比の計算を組み込むべき?

2. Relative Importance of Tropical SST Anomalies in Forcing East Asian Summer Monsoon Circulation
Lei Fan, Sang-Ik Shin, Qinyu Liu, Zhengyu Liu
DOI: 10.1002/grl.50494
atmospheric GCMlinear inverse modelを用いて熱帯域のSSTアノマリとEASMの関連性を調査した。その結果、熱帯太平洋中央域の寒冷化が、EASMの降水に関係する夏の北西太平洋の高気圧の発達と持続に不可欠であることが示された。従って、これまで考えられていた前の冬のEl Niñoの発生や、インド洋熱帯域の温暖化だけでは、EASMの循環を予測するのには不十分である。代わりに、特に春と冬の太平洋熱帯域のSSTアノマリの変化のモニタリングと予測を行うことで、EASMの予測が格段に向上することが期待される。

1.     Variations in the strength of the North Atlantic bottom water during Holocene
Author(s): Catherine Kissel , Aurélie Van Toer , Carlo Laj , Elsa Cortijo , Elisabeth Michel
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2013.03.042
Highlights
We examine changes in the deep north Atlantic circulation through Holocene.
Multi-proxy approach is used on various cores along the path of the deep water mass.
Long-term Holocene trends in deep circulation are fitted by polynomial curves.
Millenial-scale changes are superimposed with 2 periodicities at 3 and 0.6 kyr.

2.     Temporal buffering of climate-driven sediment flux cycles by transient catchment response
Author(s): John J. Armitage , Tom Dunkley Jones , Robert A. Duller , Alexander C. Whittaker , Philip A. Allen
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2013.03.020
Highlights
We model the erosional response of a catchment to cyclic changes in precipitation rate.
We examine the changes in sediment flux and grain sizes deposited.
Sediment flux and grain size are insensitive to high-frequency (<1 changes="" in="" myr="" o:p="" precipitation.="">
Model implies that Milankovitch-scale oscillations in climate would not be preserved in siliciclastic terrestrial sedimentary records.

3.     Glacial freshwater discharge events recorded by authigenic neodymium isotopes in sediments from the Mendeleev Ridge, western Arctic Ocean
Author(s): Kwangchul Jang , Yeongcheol Han , Youngsook Huh , Seung-Il Nam , Ruediger Stein , Andreas Mackensen , Jens Matthiessen
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2013.03.018
Highlights
Three freshwater discharge events affected the western Arctic Ocean since about 75 ka BP.
The 46–51 ka BP event is related to the collapse of the Barents–Kara Ice Sheet.
The 35–39 ka BP event is related to the collapse of the Laurentide Ice Sheet.
Heinrich event 1 may have been responsible for the13–21 ka BP event.

Highlights
We developed a 960-year record of glaciofluvial sediment deposition
Glaciofluvial sediment deposition is correlated with regional ice core dust
Dust forcing was coherent across central Himalayas over the last millennium
Glaciofluvial sediment deposition is also correlated with warm season temperature
Southwestern Tibet shows a May-September warming trend over the 20th century

6.     Interannual sea level variability in the tropical Pacific Ocean from 1993 to 2006
Author(s): Qing Lu , Juncheng Zuo , Yanfang Li , Meixiang Chen
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.gloplacha.2013.04.008
Highlights
We provide a quantitative understanding of four physical processes of interannual SSH change in the tropical Pacific.
Local response to surface heating plays an important role in sea level rise along the western equatorial Pacific (150°-180°E).
Both local response to surface heating and the eastern boundary forcing are important in explaining the interannual variance of observed SSH anomalies in the northeastern tropical Pacific.
The dominant contribution to interannual sea level variability in the southeastern tropical Pacific is from the eastern boundary forcing, the local Ekman pumping plays a relatively minor role in the interannual SSH change.
Although a large part of the interannual sea level variability in the western tropical Pacific is related to the oceanic remote adjustment to wind stress forcing, the contributions of local responses to surface heating and wind forcing cannot be overlooked.

7.     Adjustment of the San Francisco estuary and watershed to decreasing sediment supply in the 20th century
Author(s): David H. Schoellhamer , Scott A. Wright , Judith Z. Drexler
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.margeo.2013.04.007, How to Cite or Link Using DOI
Highlights
A conceptual model of the effects of increasing then decreasing sediment supply
Adjustment to decreasing sediment supply propagated downstream in the 20th century
Rivers and upper estuary adjusted to increasing supply quicker than decreasing supply
Adjustment to increasing supply was slower in the lower estuary than in the rivers and upper estruary
Step adjustments throughout the system may occur now only during greater floods
