A Positive Cooling Feedback for the Neoproterozoic Snowball Earth Initiation Due To Weakening of Ocean Ventilation

Abstract Ocean ventilation is an important regulator for atmospheric CO2 level (pCO2) by affecting the relative proportion of carbon stored in the atmosphere and deep ocean. Expansion of sea ice during glacial periods slows down ocean ventilation and its effect is expected to be the largest during t...
