Sentences with phrase «glacial maximum constrain»

Can the Last Glacial Maximum constrain climate sensitivity?

Not exact matches

At the last glacial maximum we know the forcings to a W / m2 or two, but the signal is large (~ 6 deg C) so the response / forcing ratio is relatively well constrained.

In particular, Annan and Hargreaves (2006) used a Bayesian statistical approach that combines information from both 20th century observations and from last glacial maximum data to produce an estimate of climate sensitivity that is much better constrained than by either set of observations alone (see our post on this, here).

The Last Glacial Maximum (i.e. the most recent «ice age», abbreviated LGM) probably provides the best opportunity for using the past to constrain climate sensitivity.

Here we present a new approach for constraining this key uncertainty by combining ensemble simulations of the last glacial maximum (LGM) with paleo - data.
