Influence of regional parameters on the surface mass balance of the Eurasian ice sheet during the peak Saalian (140kya)
International audience Recent geologically-based reconstructions of the Eurasian ice sheet show that during the peak Saalian (≈140kya) the ice sheet was larger over Eurasia than during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) at ≈21kya. To address this problem we use the LMDZ4 atmospheric general circulation...
