18、s,scientists now have a clearer idea ofthe relationship between atmospheric (5) composition and global temperaturechange over the past 160,000 years. Inparticular, determination of atmosphericcomposition during periods of glacialexpansion and retreat (cooling and(10) warming) is possible using data

19、from the2,000 meter Vostok ice core drilled inAntarctica. The technique involved issimilar to that used in analyzing coresof marine sediments, where the ratio of(15) the two common isotopes of oxygen, 12Oand 16O, accurately reflects pasttemperature changes. Isotopic analysisof oxygen in the Vostok c

Although change in carbon(30) dioxide content closely follows changein temperature during periods of deglaciation it apparently lags behindtemperature during periods of cooling.The correlation of carbon dioxide with(35) temper

24、fying the temperature change. Suchfeedbacks might involve ice on land andsea, clouds, or water vapor, which alsoabsorb radiant heat.(55) Other data from the Vostok core showthat methane gas also correlates closelywith temperature and carbon dioxide.The methane concentration nearlydoubled,for example

25、, between the peak(60) of the penultimate glacial period andthe following interglacial period. Withinthe present interglacial period it hasmore than doubled in just the past 300years and is rising rapidly. Although(65) the concentration of atmospheric methaneis more than two orders of magnitudelower

26、 than that of carbon dioxide, itcannot be ignored: the radiativeproperties of methane make it 20 times(70) more effective, molecule for molecule,than carbon dioxide in absorbing radiantheat. On the basis of a simulation modelthat climatological researchers havedeveloped, methane appears to have(75)

28、，科学家已能够对困在冰川中的空气样品进行分析。在这一能力的帮助下，科学家现在对过去160,000年中大气构成与全球气温变化之间的关系有了一个更为清晰的了解。尤其是，通过利用在南极洲自2,000米深处东方站（Vostok）冰芯钻探挖掘得到的数据，对冰川扩张和消退（降温和升温）期间的大气构成予以确定，已成为可能。这一过程所涉及的技术类似于分析海洋沉积物岩芯所应用的技术，在此研究中，氧气的两个普通同位素（12O和16O）的比率精确地折射出过去的温度变化。对东方站冰芯中的氧气进行的同位素分析表明，在过去的160,000年中，全球平均气温波动变化高达摄氏10度。来自东方站冰芯的数据还表明，在同一时期，二氧化碳的数量也随着温度而波动变化：气温越高，二氧化碳含量越高；气温愈低，二氧化碳含量愈低。尽管在冰川消退期，二氧化碳含量的变化紧随着气温的变化，但在降温期，二氧化碳含量的变化显然滞后于气温。当然，二氧化碳与气温的关系无法确定大气构成的变化是否导致了升温和降温趋势，或者被它们所导致。在东主站的整个记录中。二氧化碳与气温的关系是连贯一致的和可预测的。但是，绝对温度变化比人们所
