Simulation of the Last Glacial Inception with the Green McGill Paleoclimate Model
The "green'' McGill Paleoclimate Model ( MPM), which includes an interactive vegetation component, is run between 122 and 80 kyr Before Present ( BP) under Milankovitch forcing and Vostok-derived atmospheric CO2 concentration. The model simulates the last glacial inception ( LGI) at a...
