Accumulation in Dasuopu ice core in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and solar activity

  • Notes
  • Published:
Chinese Science Bulletin

Abstract

The time series of accumulation in recent 300 years correlated well with solar activity in Dasuopu ice core. Results of spectrum analysis on the accumulation time series of the Dasuopu ice core shows that there are some periods that coincide with the periods of solar activity. By comparing the long-time change trend of the accumulation in the Dasuopu ice core with various kinds of indexes of solar activity intensity, a negative correlation is found between the trend and solar activity.
