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. We do not know what the LGM group's decision will be.**\\ \\ |
| - | * N<sub>2</sub>O<sup>[1]</sup> values take a dive in the lead up to 21 ka. 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.

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). **DECISION (Oct 2015): We have stuck with the old, more representative N<sub>2</sub>O value of 200 ppb. However, the transient 'spinup' 26-21 ka and the transient run (21-9 ka) should use the chronologically accurate values, as plotted above. We do not know what the LGM group's decision will be.** \\ \\ |
