Paleoclimate modellers have for many years argued the importance of paleoclimate simulations as a means of increasing understanding of the climate system. However, it is only in the latest iteration of the climate model inter-comparison project (CMIP5) that paleoclimate runs have been officially included. This means that, for the first time, there exists a coherent ensemble of climate models run for past climates, recent historical, control and future scenarios. | Paleoclimate modellers have for many years argued the importance of paleoclimate simulations as a means of increasing understanding of the climate system.

- | ===== Focus of the P2F Working group ===== | ||
- | |||
- | Aims and Scope v2.1, July 2014. Compared to v2.0, the strategy has been slightly revised to include consideration of processes and explicitly include comparison with data. | ||
- | See below in Previous Aims and Scopes section for v2.0, June 2014, which resulted from the PMIP3 meeting, 25-30 May 2014, Namur, Belgium. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== The P2F challenge ==== | ||
- | |||
- | To use paleoclimate information to improve predictions of climate change | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Strategy - methodology ==== | ||
- | |||
- | - Identify and document quantitative relationships between past and future runs and check consistency with available observations. | ||
- | - Identify and implement suitable methodologies to use the information to explore quantitative constraints on future climate change. | ||
- | - Identify whether underlying mechanisms between past and future changes are the same. | ||
- | |||
- | * Code for methodologies should be fully published to enable participation of others | ||
- | ==== Targets ==== | ||
- | |||
- | - Estimating future climate by exploring information from multiple PMIP intervals. | ||
- | - Exploring divergent estimates of climate sensitivity - towards reconciliation. | ||
- | - Predicting regional climate change - beyond climate sensitivity | ||
- | |||
- | * More targets? This is open to development later. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Other things ==== | ||
- | |||
- | * Considerable interaction with the rest of PMIP will be required. | ||
- | * Model and data from all intervals needs to be publicly available. | ||
- | * P2F analyses focus on quantitative methodologies so will require input from process based experts | ||
- | |||
- | * Dan Lunt has funds to host a workshop in the UK on Past to Future, sometime in the next couple of years. | ||
