与当前全球增暖有关的古气候学问题

根据最新研究成果，对从古气候学角度展望未来全球气候变化问题的可能性和方法进行了讨论和总结。过去温室气体含量、温度、降水、海平面和突然气候变化等古资料记录及其分析加深了我们对于气候系统物理过程的理解，古气候类比方法以及古资料在气候模式校准中的应用也显示了古气候学对于未来气候预测的潜在意义。

Some Palaeoclimatological Problems Associated with the Present Global Warming

Increasing data and analyses of palaeoclimatology have been seen in the past decade. An attempt is made in this paper to summarize the up-to-date palaeoclimatological research results relevant to the commonly concerned global climate change. It is obvious from the review that a big contribution has been made by palaeoclimatologists for the global climate change research and future climate predictioh in such aspects as the past greenhouse gas records, the past greenhouse effect analyses, the study of palaeo-analog forecasting method,the investigation of the past snow accumulation rate in Antarctica and Greenland and its implication for global sea-level change, and the documentation of the rapid climate changes in the inter-glacial and late-glacial peneds over North Atlantic regions. Palaeoclimatology has also played an important part in testing and calibrating GCMs models.
