Do we need a new PMIP LGM definition for these greenhouse gases in accordance with the records? ​**DECISION (Oct 2015): We have used the new, up to date CO<​sub>​2</​sub>​ (188 ppm) and CH<​sub>​4</​sub>​ (375 ppb) values for our LGM equilibrium-type 21 ka spinup.

The PMIP3 value of 200 ppb looks fairly representative of the LGM state, even though this is a bit higher than the actual 21 ka value. We recommend that groups spin-up with 200 ppb N<​sub>​2</​sub>​O,​ and begin the transient simulation from 21 ka in the record (as shown in the plot above). ​ \\ \\ +  ​* **RESOLVED** N<​sub>​2</​sub>​O<​sup>​[1]</​sup>​ values take a dive in the lead up to 21 ka.

However, the transient '​spinup'​ 26-21 ka and the transient run (21-9 ka) should use the chronologically accurate values, as plotted above.
