Abstract. The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, ∼ 21 000 years ago) has been a major focus for evaluating how well state-of-the-art climate models simulate changes as large those expected in the future using paleoclimate reconstructions.

Here, we provide preliminary analysis and evaluation results these experiments (PMIP4, most which are PMIP4-CMIP6)...
Abstract. During the last deglaciation, climate evolves from a cold state at Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) 21 ka (thousand years ago) with large ice sheets to warm Holocene ∼9 reduced sheets. The deglacial sheet melt can impact through multiple ways: changes of topography and albedo, bathymetry coastlines, freshwater fluxes (FWFs). In PMIP4 (Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project – Phase 4) protocol for simulations, these be accounted or not depending on modelling group choices....

Yet simulating glacial Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) agreement with paleotracer data remains challenge, most models from previous Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project (PMIP) phases showing tendency simulate strong and deep North Deep Water (NADW) instead of shoaling inferred...

Abstract Model intercomparison studies of coupled carbon‐climate simulations have the potential to improve our understanding processes explaining drawdown at Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and identify related model biases. Models participating in Paleoclimate Modeling Intercomparison Project (PMIP) now frequently include carbon cycle. The ongoing PMIP‐carbon project provides first opportunity conduct multimodel comparisons simulated content for LGM time window. However, such a study remains...
Abstract. The last deglaciation offers an unique opportunity to understand the climate–ice-sheet interactions in a global warming context. In this paper, tackle question, we use Earth system model of intermediate complexity coupled ice sheet covering Northern Hemisphere simulate and Holocene (26–0 ka). We synchronous coupling every year between rest climate ensure closed water cycle considering release freshwater flux ocean due melting. Our reference experiment displays gradual response...

Abstract. The quaternary climate is characterised by glacial-interglacial cycles, with the most recent transition from last glacial maximum to present interglacial (the deglaciation) occurring between ~ 21 and 9 ka. While deglacial warming at southern high latitudes mostly in phase atmospheric CO2 concentrations, some proxy records have suggested that onset of occurred before increase. In addition, exhibit a cooling event middle deglaciation (15–13 ka) known as Antarctic Cold Reversal (ACR)....

The ocean contained a larger carbon content at the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, ~21kyr before present) compared to late Holocene, making considerable contribution deglacial atmospheric CO2 rise of about 90 ppm. Yet, there’s no consensus on mechanisms controlling glacial-interglacial changes in oceanic storage due uncertainties and sparseness proxy data. Numerical simulations have been widely used quantify impact key factors, such as sea surface temperatures, circulation biological...

The deglacial sheet melt can impact through multiple ways: changes of topography and albedo, bathymetry coastlines, as well fresh water fluxes.

The global carbon cycle is a complex system with many drivers, including slow ones such as the chemical weathering of rocks. At long enough timescales, changes in rates influence CO2 consumption, but also river loads carbon, nutrients, and alkalinity. In particular, ocean inventory alkalinity critical driver sequestration into ocean. Thus, any transitory imbalance between sources sinks can lead to chemistry impact atmospheric concentration. During last deglaciation (ca. 19-11 ka BP),...
<p>There is compelling evidence of a strong relation between the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and millennial scale climate variability during last glacial period. Part advances in understanding underlying mechanisms rely on analysis sedimentary Pa/Th ratio, which can be used to qualitatively infer past flow rates Atlantic. The compilation existing North records indicates repeated, consistent significant increases across millennial-scale events, indicating...
