Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We reconstructed Dome Fuji temperature (East Antarctica) over the past 4000 years using argon and nitrogen isotopes trapped in ice cores. Currently, Dome Fuji has annual temperature of around -50 C and annual accumulation rate of around 3 cm, which make reconstructed temperature to be lower resolution than that for Greenland ice cores. Therefore, we conducted analyses for every 70 years. We obtained high precision for argon and nitrogen isotopes similar to our earlier analyses for Greenland ice cores. Using these data, we calculated temperatures, which show low temperature around 1500 AD, and high temperature around 1000 AD. We plan to use climate models to investigate the causes of these changes.
