The role of GCM resolution in simulating glacial inception

We test the influence of model resolution on glacial inception using a coupled atmosphere–slab ocean version of NCAR’s CCSM3 GCM. Simulations employ a modern orbital configuration and greenhouse gas concentrations representing both recent (year 1990) and hypothetically lower values based on Ruddiman...
