CAM3 SENSITIVITY STUDY


CAM3 runs using either CCSM3 or HadCM3M2 sea ice and SSTs

  • PI. SSTs/sea ice from CCSM3 b30.100 pre-industrial simulation + 1780s ghg + 1950 insolation + 1870s sulfates
  • PIhadBCs. SSTs/sea ice from HadCM3M2 pre-industrial simulation + 1780s ghg + 1950 insolation + 1870s sulfates
  • LGM. SSTs/sea ice from CCSM3 b30.104 simulation + LGM ghg + 21k insolation + ICE-5G 21k land ice + 1870s sulfates
  • LGMhadPIsst. SSTs/sea ice from HadCM3M2 PI simulation + LGM ghg + 21k insolation + ICE-5G 21k land ice + 1870s sulfates

    CAM3 WATER ISOTOPES STUDY


    CAM3 runs using David Noone's isotope code

  • PI ISO. SSTs/sea ice from CCSM3 b30.100 pre-industrial simulation + 1780s ghg + 1950 insolation + 1870s sulfates
  • 14k ICE IN ISO. SSTs/sea ice from camille iceNSWATL2 file + LGM ghg + 21k insolation + ICE-5G 14k land ice + 1870s sulfates
  • 14k ICE OUT ISO. SSTs/sea ice from camille noNSWATL file + LGM ghg + 21k insolation + ICE-5G 14k land ice + 1870s sulfates
  • LGM ICE IN ISO. SSTs/sea ice from camille iceNSWATL2 file + LGM ghg + 21k insolation + ICE-5G 21k land ice + 1870s sulfates
  • LGM ICE OUT ISO. SSTs/sea ice from camille noNSWATL file + LGM ghg + 21k insolation + ICE-5G 21k land ice + 1870s sulfates
  • LGM ICE OUT. as LGM ICE OUT ISO without David Noone's isotopic code.

  • H1. SSTs/sea ice from CCSM3 LGM fresh water experiment (CC) + LGM ghg + 21k insolation + ICE-5G 21k land ice +1870s sulfates
  • H1onlyATL. CAM3 forced with LGM boundary conditions, except for the SST and sea ice in the North Atlantic, which are prescribed from the H1 experiment
  • H1noIND. CAM3 forced with H1 boundary conditions, except for the SST in the Indian Ocean, which is prescribed from LGM experiment
  • H1onlyIND. CAM3 forced with LGM boundary conditions, except for SST in the Indian Ocean, which is prescribed from the H1 experiment
