   - **How do the dynamics of the monsoons change throughout the Holocene?** This will mainly analyse Holocene transient simulations coming out of France and Germany, and compare them to proxy records (mainly speleothems). There was a focus on low-frequency variability. This effort is closely connected to the PACMEDY consortium, and lead by Roberta D'Agostino.    - **How do the dynamics of the monsoons change throughout the Holocene?** This will mainly analyse Holocene transient simulations coming out of France and Germany, and compare them to proxy records (mainly speleothems).

This effort was spearheded by Stockholm in combination with BlueSkiesResearch. It's unclear whether there will be sufficient LGM or Pliocene runs ready in time to provide an updated climate sensitivity estimate. 
   - **Transient behaviour of AMOC**. This group had two possible foci, the last millennium simulations or other Holocene transient runs. There is so far no multi-model paper focused on AMOC behaviour in all the past1000 runs. Elements of this research have been published elsewhere though (say in single model papers) and there are data availability issues. A paper comparing transient runs performed outside of PMIP to proxy data shall be worked on (led by UCL with MPI and IPSL involved).   - **Transient behaviour of AMOC**.

-  - **Local, interannual variability**. This built on some work by Chris and Kira analysing changes in interannual variability across PMIP3 simulations. An additional stream of analysis showed that the modes of climate variability appear fairly consistent across multiple climate staes (with a focus on mediterranean climates). This is being coordinated by Heidelberg, with contributions from Arizona, AWI, UCL & Yale. +  - **Local, interannual variability**.

 +== El Nino - Southern Oscillation ==
  
 +There has been much work looking at ENSO changes in different experiments (see review by [[https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4433/9/4/130/htm|Lu et al., 2018]]). Looking across these simulations in PMIP3/4 would be interesting. This was done for PMIP2 ([[https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00382-007-0320-3|Zheng et al., 2008]]). An update that includes the lig127k, midPliocene-Eoi400 and, most importantly, the future would be warranted. Sufficient post-processed fields are likely available from the working group's archive at [[http://www2.geog.ucl.ac.uk/~ucfaccb/PMIPVarData/|www2.geog.ucl.ac.uk/~ucfaccb/PMIPVarData]] to fuel a paper. A collective is being pulled together at present: contact [[mailto:c.brierley@ucl.ac.uk|Chris]] for more information.

 +//Potential Research Outline...//
 +  - Introduction and literature review

 +    - CVDP, and therefore [[http://www2.geog.ucl.ac.uk/~ucfaccb/PMIPVarData/|www2.geog.ucl.ac.uk/~ucfaccb/PMIPVarData]], doesn't compute CP vs EP Ninos 
 +    - Could use the [[https://doi.org/10.1029/2010GL046031|Ren & Jin (2011)]] decomposition of Nino3 and Nino4 though 
 +  - Discussion
 +    - Projection onto mean state changes (El Nino-like?)
 +    - Is there a consistent relationship with changes in the annual cycle across past2future states?

 +==== Other efforts we're aware of... ====

 +  * **Holocene ENSO.** There is an effort by the paleo-ENSO community to collate together different proxy records of ENSO. This will look at reconstructed variability in different regions of the Pacific. Efforts so far have compared these to non-PMIP transient simulations, although there is may emerge an attempt to benchmark the midHolocene simulations. This is led by ISPL, and attached to the PACMEDY consortium. There is a relevant [[http://www.pastglobalchanges.org/calendar/upcoming/127-pages/1805-paleo-enso-wshop-19|workshop]] in August 2019 on this topic.

 +=== A possible North Atlantic Oscillation ===
 +**//Chris currently has an MSc student looking at this, but we will need help to convert into a paper//**
 +This would focus on describing changes in the North Atlantic Oscillation across past and future equilibrium simulations. It would use PMIP3/CMIP5 and whatever is available for PMIP4/CMIP6. It would look at the piControl, midHolocene, lig127k, lgm, midPliocene-Eoi400 and abrupt-4xCO2 experiments. Could base all the analysis on DJF season. Is there a role for analysing the past1000 simulations?
