This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Cycle A Atmosphere Ice Sheets 03 Davis, Climate Event (global warming) causes Ice Sheets Melting (Event), Ice Sheets ice core samples used to examine firn layers and provide archive/timeline of atmospheric/climatic conditions, enabling scientists to predict future patterns and effects by studying the past, Greenhouse gases of Carbon Dioxide (important forcing), Ice Sheets Melting (Event) results in change in ocean currents, water temperatures, causing changes in weather patterns, Ice Sheets warmed by Climate Event (global warming), change in albedo resulting from decrease in ice surface, archive/timeline of atmospheric/climatic conditions, enabling scientists to predict future patterns and effects by studying the past shows atmospheric composition, Ice Sheets Melting (Event) results in change in ocean currents, water temperatures, causing changes in carbon cycle, depletion of ozone layer leads to Climate Event (global warming), Greenhouse gases lead to Climate Event (global warming), Ice Sheets Melting (Event) results in change in albedo, solar irradiance can lead to (not considered cause of current global warming) Climate Event (global warming), concentration of light oxygen indicating precipitation, atmospheric composition with concentration of carbon dioxide and methane, decrease in ice surface with corresponding increase in exposed land surface, atmospheric composition with concentration of light oxygen, concentration of light oxygen indicating temperature, Greenhouse gases of water vapor (important feedback), archive/timeline of atmospheric/climatic conditions, enabling scientists to predict future patterns and effects by studying the past shows precipitation, Greenhouse gases of Trace: e.g. nitrous oxide CFCs, ozone, carbon monoxide
