The algorithm helps to
specify ice models and is also intended to be a part of operative ice monitoring.

Most
modelling studies of this period do not treat
ice sheet extent and elevation or CO2 concentration prognostically, but
specify them as boundary conditions.
We also make use of two lengthy control simulations conducted with CESM1 under constant 1850 radiative conditions: a 2200 - year control run using the fully - coupled configuration (hereafter termed the «coupled control run»), and a 2600 - year control run using only the atmospheric
model component coupled to the land
model component from CESM1 with a
specified repeating seasonal cycle of sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and sea
ice conditions taken from the long - term climatology of the fully - coupled control run (hereafter termed the «atmospheric control run»).
Rather than use an
ice sheet
model to estimate rates of freshwater release, we use observations for the present
ice melt rate and
specify several alternative rates of increase of
ice melt.
Most
modelling studies of this period do not treat
ice sheet extent and elevation or CO2 concentration prognostically, but
specify them as boundary conditions.
These simulations show a global cooling of approximately 3.5 °C to 5.2 °C when LGM greenhouse gas and
ice sheet boundary conditions are
specified (Chapter 6), which is within the range -LRB--- 1.8 °C to — 6.5 °C) of PMIP results from simpler
models that were discussed in the TAR (McAvaney et al., 2001).
