Sentences with phrase «paleoclimate modelling intercomparison project»

To better understand these discrepancies, a recent study published in Geophysical Research Letters investigates the drivers of changes in deep ocean circulation across a range of modern and Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, ~ 21000 years ago) climate simulations from the latest Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project (PMIP).

Two time periods analysed in the Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project (PMIP, Joussaume and Taylor, 1995; PMIP2, Harrison et al., 2002) are also considered, the mid-Holocene (6 ka) and the LGM (21 ka).

Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project 2 (PMIP - 2) simulations shown in bottom left and right panels do not include the radiative influences of LGM changes in mineral dust or vegetation.

However, the quantitative response to freshwater inputs varies widely among models (Stouffer et al., 2006), which led the CMIP and Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project (PMIP) panels to design and support a set of coordinated experiments to study this issue (http://www.gfdl.noaa.gov/~kd/CMIP.html and http://www.pmip2.cnrs-gif.fr/pmip2/design/experiments/waterhosing.shtml).

Coupled global climate models, such as those that participated in the Paleoclimate Modeling Intercomparison Project (PMIP)(Jansen et al., 2007), in combination with improved paleo - climate records have led to better appreciation of the extent of extreme events that have occurred in the past (e.g., Cook et al., 2010b).
