Amplification of the northern hemisphere seasonal cycle insolation during mid‐Holocene causes a northward shift main regions monsoon precipitation over Africa and India in all 18 simulations conducted for Paleoclimate Modeling Intercomparison Project (PMIP). Differences among are related to differences model formulation. Despite qualitative agreement with paleoecological estimates biome shifts, magnitude increases underestimated by models.

Abstract. The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, 21 000 years ago) is one of the suite paleoclimate simulations included in current phase Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6).

Mid-latitude eddies are an important component of the climatic system due to their role in transporting heat, moisture and momentum from tropics poles, also for precipitation associated with fronts, especially winter.

Abstract. The goal of the Palaeoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project (PMIP) is to understand response climate system changes in different forcings and feedbacks. Through comparison with observations environmental impacts these changes, or reconstructions based on physical, chemical biological records, PMIP also addresses issue how well state-of-the-art models simulate changes. states are radically from those recent past documented by instrumental record thus provide an out-of-sample...

Abstract. Ice cores are exceptional archives which allow us to reconstruct a wealth of climatic parameters as well past atmospheric composition over the last 800 kyr in Antarctica. Inferring variations accumulation rate polar regions is essential both for documenting climate and ice core chronology. On East Antarctic Plateau, so small that annual layers cannot be identified mainly deduced from water isotopic assuming constant temporal relationships between temperature, rate. Such an...
Abstract Variations of Atlantic and Indian monsoon systems since the last glacial period are investigated by comparing eolian fluxes from two marine cores (ODP site 658 off western Africa core 74KL Arabian peninsula) with 2147 hydrological records (lacustrine, palustrine, spring fluvial, arid) gathered over a large continental area extending between 10 30°N across Africa, Arabia India. We show that response to Holocene humid phase in northern tropics strongly differs region another. The is...
Abstract. We describe the creation of boundary conditions related to presence ice sheets, including sheet extent and height, shelf extent, distribution altitude ice-free land, at Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) for use in LGM experiments conducted as part fifth phase Coupled Modelling Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) third Palaeoclimate (PMIP3). The CMIP5/PMIP3 data sets were created from reconstructions made by three different groups, which all obtained using a model-inversion approach but differ...
Abstract. Understanding the ocean circulation changes associated with abrupt climate events is key to better assessing variability and understanding its different natural modes. Sedimentary Pa∕Th, benthic δ13C Δ14C are common proxies used reconstruct past flow rate ventilation. To overcome limitations of each proxy taken separately, a approach produce multiproxy measurements on single sediment core. Yet, can provide conflicting information about circulation. Thus, modelling them in...

Measurements of the air trapped in Antarctic ice cores reveal that atmospheric CO2 concentration (pCO2) during Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) was about 80 ppmv lower than recorded current Holocene interglacial (Bereiter et al., 2015). Studies also show a strong link between pCO2, volume and temperature, suggesting pCO2 as forcing or amplifying factor behind glacial/interglacial cycles (Petit 1999; Parrenin 2013). Despite such importance global climate changes, mechanisms rapid variations...
Abstract. Mediterranean ecosystems are significant carbon sinks but also particularly sensitive to climate change the dynamic in such ecosystem is still not fully understood. An improved understanding of drivers fixation by plants needed better predict how will respond change.
