Under climate change, fresh water from melting glaciers and other sources will make the Southern Oceans surface layer less dense, which might mean fewer polynyas in the future. These lakes fill and drain over and over again in largely mysterious cycles that may influence how fast the ice sheet moves and how and where meltwater reaches the Southern Ocean. Sign up for the Nature Briefing newsletter what matters in science, free to your inbox daily. Munn said his thoughts are on his mother and moving her to a safer neighborhood. And yeah, with nice coloured graphics it hits you in the face. We were able, in a very short time, to put together a lot of pieces and to draw a much clearer picture of how this part of the Earths system works and what might affect it and what might not affect it. Ravishankara, A. R. & Hanson, D. R. J. Geophys. NASA said the hole is large enough to have held 14 billion tons of ice -- the majority of which has melted during the last three years. The 'extreme cruelty' around the global trade in frog legs, What does cancer smell like? The fluorocarbon-ozone theory was a theory. Web6.1M views 2 years ago The Moon rotates around the Earth at about the same speed, as it does around its axis, thats why we can only see one side of it. They were the ancient remains of photosynthetic organisms that had once lived in the sea before dying and settling to the bottom. In 1925 there was a singular man on a mission to explore desolate lands rarely seen by humans to that time Admiral Richard Byrd. ISSN 1476-4687 (online) Many models show that the winds circling Antarctica will become stronger and draw closer to the coast the new paper suggests this would encourage more polynyas to form, not fewer. Well, the Goddard folks had set quality control software to look at the data automatically as it came back from the satellite and mark as potentially bad data anything that showed levels below a certain amount, and these levels of the prediction of the Antarctic Surveys were below that amount. Solomon, S., Garcia, R. R., Rowland, F. S. & Wuebbles, D. J. And once you do that, youve upset the cart, and the warm waters at the surface, and its gonna take months to cool enough to freeze over again, Holland explained. Brian said the hole was five to ten miles from the South Pole. Cline Heuz, a physical oceanographer at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, told Earther in a phone interview that other recent research has shown 2017 to be quite an intense year in the Southern Ocean with respect to storm activity. While Heuz said that the new studys findings make sense, shes keen to learn more about the role that the ocean plays, which is why she recently had a student trek out and deploy an autonomous profiler to measure temperature and salinity in the Maud Rise area. 33, L10812 (2006).

They focused on three areas with good satellite coverage and known active lakes: the boundary between the Mercer and Whillans ice streams in West Antarctica; the lower MacAyeal Ice Stream, also in West Antarctica; and the upper Academy Glacier in East Antarctica. For more information, contact Campbell at ethancc@uw.edu and 224-388-0301, Riser at riser@uw.edu and 206-543-1187 or Wilson at earlew@uw.edu. The outside temperature recorded was 74 degrees F. His airplane was welcomed by machines of a type he had never actually seen before. Res. In doing so, they hoped to answer a question of worldwide importance: just how secure is the ice of West Antarctica? Article These Today, 33 years later, the ozone hole is showing its first signs of recovery. It was very clear when we first looked at the data that weve got an ozone decline and I think thats probably the term we used a decline in ozone above the Antarctic and it wasnt really until you got the satellite images that you could see oh, theres a hole there. I started at the present and was going to work back, and my colleagues really didnt believe that this was significant. Its just a theory. After the visit, Byrd and his crew were guided back to the outer area of the Earth. We may earn a commission from links on this page. Copyright 2023 CBS Interactive Inc. All rights reserved. A mans world? The gap in the Antarctic is said to be where these creatures fly out and fly back in. Police said there are no witnesses to the shooting, no surveillance video, no suspect information or motive. This time around, the New Zealand team installed instruments in one of their holes that will monitor ocean currents and water temperatures under the ice for the next two years or so, beaming that information home via satellite link. January 31, 2019 / 12:23 PM In other words, they knew them to be good and rigorous scientists, so the initial questioning of those scientists was, well, how could they get such results because what they had found was ozone concentrations are far lower than anyone had ever seen on Earth. "The findings highlight the need for detailed observations of Antarctic glaciers' undersides in calculating how fast global sea levels will rise in response to climate change," NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory said. The undersides of ice shelves are usually smooth due to gradual melting. Anderson, J. G. et al. The aviator was staying in a home in Sherwood Forest, a neighborhood right next to the University of Memphis Park Avenue campus. The lakes beneath the Mercer and Whillans ice stream boundary are currently undergoing their third period of drainage in 17 years. "The only thing we saw going over this camp was a very large hole going into the ice. In 1977, researchers drilled through the ice shelf 300 miles in from its seaward edge (about 80 miles inland from the current holes), and in 2015 a team drilled through the back corner of the ice shelf, 500 miles in from its seaward edge. WebBut in the early 1980s, through a combination of ground-based and satellite measurements, scientists began to realize that Earths natural sunscreen was thinning dramatically over the South Pole each spring. Nature 328, 408411 (1987). Past the South Pole is the great unknown. Climate change is also warming the oceans, potentially making it harder for the polynya to refreeze once its been opened. "This did not make any sense to any of us on the crew because on two different occasions we had to fly over this area. He allegedly made the bizarre sightings between 1983 and 1997 when he was stationed with the Antarctic Development Squadron. They have discovered a trend. Hollow Earth Shop confirm the Nazi presence in Antarctica. The Ross Ice Shelf has come and gone probably many times in the last million years, says Scherer. Atmos. I think I was probably the little thing in the background that made the difference and it was really a little voice from me being quite persistent that look, weve got to do something about this, that finally sort of drove them to right, well, we better write this up and better go to Nature because I think they had a better grasp of what a fundamental discovery this was than I did. All the ingredients for life exist beneath ice shelves, said John Priscu, a professor of polar ecology at Montana State University, who has studied life under polar ice for almost 40 years but who was not involved in the latest study. A National Geographic team has made the first ascent of the remote Mount Michael, looking for a lava lake in the volcanos crater. She lives right across the street from where the FedEx pilot was hit by gunfire. One way that a surface polynya matters for the climate is for the deepest water in the oceans, known as Antarctic Bottom Water. The lowermost lake went through four fill-drain events during the study period, each taking only about a year to complete. The West Antarctic Ice Sheet is up to 10,000 feet thick in some places. Earlier in the year, in another Vega, the two pilots had become the first to cross the Arctic Ocean from Alaska to Svalbard, Norway. But the new study questions that assumption. All this speculation begs the question: Just what happened with Admiral Byrd in the North Pole? Atmos. I was given the task of writing the programmes, supervising the digitisation of the data and processing it. The paper really changed the way people look at the environment. Scientists have discovered two new lakes buried deep beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet. On the 19th of September, 1947, the American explorer, Admiral Richard Byrd flew to the South Pole. New York, But he believes it could also have collapsed as recently as 120,000 years ago, the last time that temperatures were about as warm as they are today. Over forty ships, including the Navys crown jewel, Mount Olympus, the aircraft carrier, Philippine Sea, the seaplane tender,Pine Sea, the submarine, Senate, the destroyer, Bronson, the ice breaker, North Wind, and other tanker and supply ships. Susan Solomon is in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139, USA. In January 2015, UFO researcher Linda Moulton-Howe (editor of the earthfiles.com website) Mrs Howe, who has been awarded for her paranormal investigations, said she was contacted several times by the whistleblower. In 1964, Dr. Raymond W. Bernard, was a leader of the Rosicrucians, who are members of a worldwide cabal, especially the Ancient Mystic Order, Rosae Crucis and the Rosicrucian Order, focused his research on old magical, philosophical, and religious teachings, concerned with the application of these doctrines to modern life. 21, 11911194 (1994). These are the first observations to prove that even a smaller polynya like the one in 2016 moves water from the surface all the way to the deep ocean. William Cooper goes into greater detail in the Special Report titledWilliam Coopers Deadly Secretsavailable under Special Reports. In the video the Navy Seal (aka Spartan 1) described the launch of his mission from an aircraft carrier voyaging near West Antarcticas Ross Sea. He was taken by helicopter to McMurdo station, the largest U.S. base in Antarctica, and then taken by ground transport to the structures location. Now, a team of researchers think they know what caused it. "We're really talking about a water system that is connected to the whole Earth system. Not according to biology or history. The surprises began almost as soon as a camera was lowered into the first borehole, around December 1. In an age of human-caused climate change, thats a valuable insight, because rising temperatures could alter the frequency or intensity of polar cyclones, potentially affecting the occurrence of these polynyas and, in turn, global ocean circulation. The ozone hole was mentioned in newspapers and on TV quite commonly during the 1980s because the interest of environmental organisations kept it on the public radar, I think. This certainly had more of a military signature rather than an innocent exploration. After the shooting, 23-year-old Dillon Munn rushed to check on his mother. The second lake drained between 2014 and 2015 and is currently filling up again, while the third lake drained just slightly between 2016 and 2017. Small mobile animals such as shrimp and crustaceans called sea fleas have been seen before beneath ice shelves, but no one expected to see stationary animals like these. When we were working up to publishing our paper, concerns had been expressed that these CFCs might destroy the ozone layer, that exhaust gases from Concorde might destroy the ozone layer, and the general thoughts were that any destruction would probably take place at high altitude in the tropics. A great many people compare the ozone depletion problem and the climate change problem. In 1985, Joe Farman, Brian Gardiner and Jonathan Shanklin reported1 unanticipated and large decreases in stratospheric ozone levels over the Antarctic stations of Halley and Faraday. I am the historian at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. Distant shot of a large iceberg, Antarctica. Over forty ships, including the Navys crown jewel, William Cooper goes into greater detail in the, In 1964, Dr. Raymond W. Bernard, was a leader of the Rosicrucians, who are members of a worldwide cabal, especially the Ancient Mystic Order, Rosae Crucis and the Rosicrucian Order, focused his research on old magical, philosophical, and religious teachings, concerned with the application of these doctrines to modern life. The retired petty officer, 59, claimed to have been seen UFOs, aliens and a giant hole in the ice as he flew through a "no fly zone" in Antartica. It likely collapsed during a warm period 400,000 years ago. According to this account, Operation HighJump, the biggest exploration ever to target the Antarctic, was organized to erase the Nazi presence at the south pole. The ice holeknown as a polynya in the parlance of sea ice researcherswas likely caused by a powerful cyclone that spun up in Antarcticas You are using a browser version with limited support for CSS. It is During WWII, it was a sanctuary for U-Boats and remained one of the few areas in the oceans bereft of a strong Allied military presence. The ICESat satellite used lasers to precisely measure the elevation of Antarctic ice. 92, 83298338 (1987). Animal life was not what scientists were expecting to find in the pitch-black seawater beneath almost half a mile of floating Antarctic ice, but it seems to have found a way with the discovery of sea creatures living in the extreme environment. the best experience, we recommend you use a more up to date browser (or turn off compatibility mode in It provided an image of nearly global environmental damage that people could see. An essential round-up of science news, opinion and analysis, delivered to your inbox every weekday. 16th May 1985. Letters to Nature, p207. NY 10036. THEORY: A whistleblower claims he saw an alien base in the Antarctic. The ozone hole story clearly shows that if we have the will to do things, we can succeed. Update: This article has been updated to clarify that the cyclone in question formed in the Weddell sea, but migrated east over the Lazarev sea where it generated a polynya. But once it does, we have the knowledge and the technology to do something about it. Many are military veterans. In the interviews he made shocking claims about top-secret contact between humans and aliens. An armed contingent of 1,400 seafarers, and three dog sled teams were likewise aboard. Concerns were raised, really, in the 1960s and 70s that substances that we were manufacturing, in particular chlorofluorocarbons the CFCs might put chlorine high into the atmosphere where it could then photocatalytically interact with the ozone and destroy ozone. Farman et al. "ICESat-2 is like putting on your glasses after using ICESat: The data are such high precision that we can really start to map out the lake boundaries on the surface," Siegfried said.

If they live out of town but will be flying out of the Memphis hub, they stay overnight in a crash pad, a cheap place to rent close to the airport. Tom Metcalfe writes about science and space for NBC News. They went back to their own data and tried to figure out why this ozone hole wasnt apparent, and it turned out that it was. Admiral Richard E. Byrd Encounter With A Lost Civilization in Never was a problem. Multiple rounds went into the front bedroom. The growing cavity sits in West Antarctica at the bottom of Thwaites Glacier, which is about as big as Florida and contains enough ice to contribute more than 2 feet to sea level rise, NASA said. They thought, well, just because youve got it one year, it doesnt count. whilst posing in a skimpy white bikini on Instagram, Baywatchs Donna DErrico, 54, ageless as ever as she bares curves in plunging gown, OnlyFans star Donna DErrico left fans a little hot under the collar as she shared a sultry throwback snap wowing in a foil-style dress complete with plunging neckline, Gunmen fire shots at Lionel Messi's family's business and leave chilling note, A supermarket in Argentina owned by the family of Lionel Messis wife Antonela Roccuzzo has reportedly been attacked by gunman - who and left a chilling note for the PSG and Argentina star, Jennifer Lawrence ditches bra in plunging top as she puts famous curves on display, Hunger Games icon Jennifer Lawrence looked sensational as she hit the red carpet in a plunging black blouse, opting to go braless under the racy outfit a year after welcoming her first child, TOO CRUEL FOR SCHOOL: Mum called 'sl*g' for having baby at 16 is still with high school sweetheart years later, EXCLUSIVE: TikToker Zoe Cannon has gone viral in recent weeks for her uplifting videos with her 13-year-old boy Alfie, Pub trivia question sparks 'chaos' as thousands attempt to solve it, A baffling riddle from a pub quiz has gone viral on Reddit this week - and it has left tens of thousands of people confused as they try to solve the mysterious puzzle, 'My entire face was crushed in a freak horse accident doctors had to rebuild my skull', Ian Tilston was driving on the M56 from his home in Hawarden, North Wales, to Nantwich last year when he turned down a slip way and a horse smashed into his vehicle, Sacked adult performer teacher left red-faced again with gym blunder after bloke tried to help, Epsom College headteacher and daughter died of shotgun wounds to chest and head, Emma Pattison and her daughter Lettie, 7, died in their home on the grounds of Epsom College on February 5 in what police now believe to be a murder-suicide committed by Emma's husband George, Putin 'never been so furious' after life with 'sex-mad' gymnast mistress is leaked, Earlier this week reports emerged detailing how Vladimir Putin and his Olympic gold medal-winning mistress Alina Kabaeva live a secret life of luxury with their kids in a lakeside mansion, 'I schedule sex with my partner relationships can die if you don't make time', Holly Robinson, 34, thinks pre-planning intimacy and sex could have "huge" benefits for sexual wellbeing. [If] the organisms evolved to live beneath ice shelves, they may provide us with a molecular clock that can be used to gauge past climate driven changes in Antarctic ice., The discovery shows that life can exist in environments where science suggests it should not: There are still things that we have to learn, Griffiths said.

It was a bit of a disappointment to them theyd spent weeks getting there and it didnt work, said marine biologist Huw Griffiths of the British Antarctic Survey, who is the lead author of the published study. in Stratospheric Ozone Depletion and Climate Change (ed. This particular spot far from the Antarctic coast often has small openings and has seen large polynyas before. But theres a lot of work ahead before. If a big storm rolls through and clears away the overlying sea ice, it can then cause this warm water to mix with the cooler, fresher water floating atop the Lazarev sea. And this is worth exploring, Holland said, because the polynyas delivery of ocean heat to the surface, followed by the sinking of that water as it becomes cooler and denser, plays an important role in global ocean circulation. The only things you would expect to find are things that can wander around and find food, he said. And, of course, there was nothing there. SOCCOM is funded by the National Science Foundation.

WebThere is a hole presumably allowing a very civilization to dwell inside the world. A team of scientists from New Zealand began this two-month expedition in November. Geologists taking sediment cores from the seafloor beneath the giant Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf on the southern edge of Antarcticas Weddell Sea discovered what biologists believe are types of sponge. Admiral Byrd explained that the North and South Poles are just two of several openings into the center of the Earth. Crutzen, P. J. Q. J. R. Meteorol. 101, 38853890 (1996). So, when the British Antarctic Survey paper is published in 1985, a lot of people are rather shocked because during the early 1980s, they werent sure whether there was evidence of depletion and thats because its a difficult question to answer. J. C. Farman, B. G. Gardiner and J. D. Shanklin, British Antarctic Survey, Cambridge, UK. Lett. Farman, J. C., Gardner, B. G. & Shanklin, J. D. Nature 315, 207210 (1985). The study also used data from the long-running Argo ocean observing program, elephant seals that beam data back to shore, weather stations and decades of satellite images. It seems to not only be melting on the ocean edges, but also from underneath, and warmer ocean waters are infiltrating. Past the South Pole is the great unknown. They got stuff to live for, you know what Im saying? Ex-US Naval officer 'saw entrance to secret alien base in Antarctica' 58 (WMO, 2018). We have judged it a solved problem even though scientists dont actually expect it to go away for another 80-100 years. Some of those dead diatoms were only a few hundred thousand years old, leading Scherer to an astounding conclusion: this area, now covered by 3,000 feet of ice, had recently been open sea, bathed in life-sustaining sunlight that could support the diatoms growth. This water system was largely invisible until the advent of NASA's ICESat mission in 2003. Global sea levels would rise by 10 feet if West Antarctica lost these crucial stabilizers and spilled its ice into the ocean. Large losses of total ozone in Antarctica. Additional funding is from the NSF, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the University of Washington and Scripps Institution of Oceanography. A hole that appeared in 2016 and 2017 drew intense curiosity from scientists and reporters.

Res. The biggest known polynyas at that location were in 1974, 1975 and 1976, just after the first satellites were launched, when an area the size of New Zealand remained ice-free through three consecutive Antarctic winters despite air temperatures far below freezing. A Mysterious Hole Keeps Opening Up in Antarctica, And Scientists Say It'll Be Back. CARLY CASSELLA. 5 MAY 2019. In the early 1970s, when satellites first began snapping photos of Earth, scientists noticed a mysterious hole in one of Antarctica's seasonal ice packs, floating on the Lazarev Sea. Come summertime the gap had disappeared, The inquiry that still stays is that Admiral Byrd did make a trip past the post but this flight wasnt in February of 1947. They collaborated in going public with the tales regarding the Roswell accident and the internal planet; some believe Admiral Forrestal was assassinated and within a couple of weeks of Byrds self-imposed expatriation, he was likewise dying; his journal was leaked after his death.
