PMIP3 WG - Past to Future (P2F)

Coordinator: Julia Hargreaves Co-coordinator: Andreas Schmittner

The P2F challenge

To use paleoclimate information to improve predictions of climate change

Group description

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.

This working group seeks to help climate scientists make the best use of this unique situation, so that they may better use past climate information from models and data to learn about future climates.

The working group was initiated at the PMIP3 2012 Crewe meeting
