A record of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration during the transition from the Last Glacial Maximum to the Holocene, obtained from the Dome Concordia, Antarctica, ice core, reveals that an increase of 76 parts per million by volume occurred over a period of 6000 years in four clearly distinguishable intervals. The close correlation between CO2 concentration and Antarctic temperature indicates that the Southern Ocean played an important role in causing the CO2 increase. However, the similarity of changes in CO2 concentration and variations of atmospheric methane concentration suggests that processes in the tropics and in the Northern Hemisphere, where the main sources for methane are located, also had substantial effects on atmospheric CO2 concentrations.
从南极康科迪亚站冰芯获取的末次盛冰期到全新世过渡期间的大气二氧化碳(CO₂)浓度记录显示,在6000年的时间里,以四个明显可区分的阶段增加了百万分之76的体积浓度。CO₂浓度与南极温度之间的密切相关性表明,南大洋在导致CO₂增加方面发挥了重要作用。然而,CO₂浓度变化与大气甲烷浓度变化的相似性表明,甲烷主要来源所在的热带地区和北半球的过程也对大气CO₂浓度产生了重大影响。
