| Abstract | The authors report results from two simulations of the Last Glacial Maximum with the same climate model. The two simulations are obtained by integrating the model for 3000 yrs with the same glacial boundary conditions (as defined by the PMIP3 protocol) but with different initial conditions. A first simulation is initialized from an ocean state that is constrained from a modern hydrographic climatology. The other simulation is initialized from an ocean state that is derived from a previous solution of an ocean-only model subject to glacial boundary conditions. For each simulation, average results for the last 100 years of model integration are considered. The authors find, among other results, that the two different initial ocean states lead to simulations with significant differences in water mass distribution and meridional circulation in the Atlantic Ocean. |
