Kick Off of PalMod Phase III

PalMod is a modeling project aiming at understanding the spectrum of climate variability from the last interglacial, through the last glacial to the present and at projecting the climate of the next millennia with comprehensive Earth system models under different scenarios.

Phase III of PalMod is envisioned as a production phase, in which multi-millenial transient climate simulations will be perfomed under different greenhouse-gas concentration scenarios that will pescribed to the models which compute the radiative forcing internally. At the same time, we will continue to develop a “complete” Earth system model, in which we can drop the constraint of prescribing the radiative effects of the greenhouse gases. Major scientific questions during the Phase III are the degree of nonlinearity that we can expect in the future, which could lead to extreme events in the atmosphere and in the oceans. For the first time, we will be able, for example, to explicitly answer qestions regarding sea-level rise acceleration, abrupt climate changes due to re-organizations of the atmospheric or ocenic ciculations, or the response of permafrost on land in a warming world.

Working groups WG1, WG2, WG3 and CC plan to have their Annual Assemblies following the Kick off in the afternoon, 12.6.24.
