On the importance of initial conditions for simulations of the Mid-Holocene climate

Description : Three simulations of the Mid-Holocene (6 ka) climate were performed with the ECBilt-CLIO-VECODE coupled atmosphere-ocean-vegetation model to study the impact of initial conditions. These experiments were forced with identical 6 ka forcings (orbital parameters and atmospheric greenhouse gas concentra...

Evaluation of different freshwater forcing scenarios for the 8.2 ka BP event in a coupled climate model

Description : To improve our understanding of the mechanism causing the 8.2 ka BP event, we investigated the response of ocean circulation in the ECBilt-CLIO-VECODE (Version 3) model to various freshwater fluxes into the Labrador Sea. Starting from an early Holocene climate state we released freshwater pulses var...

Internal and forced climate variability during the last millennium: a model-data comparison using ensemble simulations

Description : A three-dimensional climate model was used to perform 25 simulations over the last millennium, which are driven by the main natural and anthropogenic forcing. The results are compared to available reconstructions in order to evaluate the relative contribution of internal and forced variability durin...

Reduced solar activity as a trigger for the start of the Younger Dryas?

Description : It is generally assumed that changes in ocean circulation forced the abrupt climate changes during the Late Pleistocene, including the Younger Dryas event. Recently, however, it was proposed that variations in solar irradiance could have played a much more prominent role in forcing Pleistocene clima...

Regional response of the climate system to solar forcing: The role of the ocean

Description : A coupled climate model is used to explore the regional response of the climate system to solar forcing, with emphasis on the role of the ocean. It is shown that both the transient and the equilibrium response of surface temperature to changes in total solar irradiation is smaller over ocean than ov...

Evidence from the past: solar forcing of climate change by way of cosmic rays and/or by solar UV?

Description : Major Holocene shifts to cool and wet climate types in the temperate zones correspond to suddenly increasing values of the atmospheric 14C content, suggesting a link between changing solar activity and climate change. In the temperate zones the transition from the Subboreal to the Subatlantic (ca 85...
