Last Deglaciation Core Experiment Design
Go back to the main working group page.
Proposal
Following wide consultation over the past year, the following is our first-draft proposal for the last deglaciation core simulation. Please use the 'Discussion' section below to comment on the proposal and make suggestions for ammendments.
21-9 ka
All core simulations must span this time-period. Use:
A spun-up LGM climate simulation to initialise the simulation.
This should have been set up as per the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) working group requirements and recommendations.
Orbital parameters as per Berger & Loutre (1991).
Greenhouse gases from Lüthi et al. (2008) and Loulergue et al. (2008) on the timescale of Veres et al. (2013).
1)
Choice of either ICE6G_C and or Lev Tarasov's global reconstruction of ice sheet evolution.
Whichever is chosen for the LGM should be kept for the whole simulation.
Meltwater:
no meltwater in the core.

26-21 ka
