6ka Experimental Design

Boundary conditions

Summary of 6ka boundary conditions

PMIP3	Alternative solution
Orbital parameters	ecc= , obl= , peri=
date of the Vernal equinox	March 21 at Noon
Trace Gazes
Aerosols	Same as in PI
Solar constant	1365W/m2	As in PI
Vegetation	Interactive	See specific note below
Ice sheet	remnant Laurentide ice-sheet (provided)	Same as in PI
Topography and coastline	Modification of the Hudson Bay (provided)	Same as in PI

Vegetation Depending on the complexity of the model used the vegetation will be either - computed by the model - prescribed to PI - prescribed to 6ka vegetation reconstructed from a combination of model output and data analyses (please use the map provided here)

Initial conditions

PMIP3	Alternative solution
Initial conditions	branch off PI after adjustement	Same as in PI
Model spin up	Same as in PI
