So- I’m actually not too familiar with how precise ice core measurements are. If you have something specific you think I should read I’d love to see. I’m also recovering from getting my wisdom teeth out, so I can’t spend too long looking for information.
broadly speaking, the shortest resolvable signal at high-accumulation sites is about one decade Trudinger, Etheridge, et al. 2002). At the lowest accumulation sites, centennial-scales features are markedly smoothed but still resolvable Nehrbass-Ahles et al. 2020
The fastest natural increase measured in older ice cores is around 15ppm (parts per million) over about 200 years. For comparison, atmospheric CO2 is now rising 15ppm every 6 years.
Which- to me- says it jumping 100+ ppm for a few decades and then returning would leave evidence behind? And like, why would it jump so drastically?
I don’t know, sorry if this isn’t a lot of information, I really need to go lay down now.
