A multi-model assessment of the early last deglaciation (PMIP4 LDv1): The meltwater paradox reigns supreme
Transient simulations of the last deglaciation have been increasingly performed to better understand the processes leading to both the overall deglacial climate trajectory as well as the centennial- to decadal- scale climate variations prevalent during deglaciations. The Paleoclimate Modelling Inter...

Transient simulations of the last deglaciation have been increasingly performed to better understand the processes leading to both the overall deglacial climate trajectory as well as the centennial- to decadal- scale climate variations prevalent during deglaciations. The Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project (PMIP) has provided a framework for an internationally coordinated effort in simulating the last deglaciation (~20 – 11 ka BP) whilst encompassing a broad range of models. Here, we present a multi-model intercomparison of 17 simulations of the early part of the last deglaciation (~20 – 15 ka BP) from nine different climate models spanning a range of model complexities and uncertain boundary conditions/forcings. A main contrasting element between the simulations is the method by which groups implement freshwater fluxes from the melting ice sheets and how this forcing then impacts ocean circulation and surface climate.
