Charles J.R. Williams*, Maria V. Guarino, Joy S. Singarayer, Louise Sime, Emilie Capron, Daniel Lunt, The UK contribution to paleoclimate modelling for CMIP6/PMIP4: The mid-Holocene and the Last Interglacial experiments, two “orbital forcing” simulations, and comparison to the preindustrial era and proxy data
Submitted = No
Keywords = Paleaoclimate modelling, midHolocene, last interglacial, preindustrial, model-data comparisons
Details = The aim of this paper is to compare the MH and LIG HadGEM3 simulations, both with the corresponding PI control, previous CMIP5 simulations and available proxy data, to assess whether the latest version of the UKMO GCM is reproducing these periods better than previous generations.
Why = The paper has direct relevance to various chapters/sections within AR6, including Chapter 1 (e.g. model/experimental design since AR5), Chapter 2 (e.g. multi-millennial context, natural/anthropogenic forcings, large-scale indicators of observed change), Chapter 7 (e.g. climate feedbacks), Chapter 8 (e.g. past changes, circulation processes and phenomena), Chapter 9 (e.g. past changes in ocean circulation).
Suggested chapters = 1, 2, 7, 8, 9
