PMIP3 WG - Pre-Pliocene climates

Contact: Dan Lunt, Bette Otto-Bliesner

Group description

To carry out coordinated model simulations of pre-Pliocene time periods, to address key scientific questions related to key intervals, and to evaluate the models by comparisons with palaeo data.

To leverage funding for pre-Pliocene climate modelling through coordinated projects.

To contribute to the IPCC if appropriate.

Questions to be addressed

What are the key scientific questions?

What time periods should we target?

What is needed for experimental design – paleogeographies and CO2 primarily – what datasets can we use?

What are the best datasets for model-data comparisons, and how can these be improved?

What are the best methodologies for model-data comparions (close collaboration with the Past2Future working group)
