A 1200-yr unforced control run and future climate change simulations using the Parallel Climate Model (PCM), a coupled atmosphere–ocean–land–sea ice global model with no flux adjustments and relatively high resolution (2.8 ° for the atmosphere and 2/3 ° for the oceans) are analyzed for changes in At...
