Palaeoclimates and their Modelling
With special reference to the Mesozoic era
Article
Today, Northeastern India receives some of the highest annual rainfall totals globally. The major portion of annual precipitation in this region falls during the Indian Summer Monsoon season (June–September); ...
Article
In modern environmental and climate science it is necessary to assimilate observational datasets collected over decades with outputs from numerical models, to enable a full understanding of natural systems and...
Article
The canopy interception capacity is a small but key part of the surface hydrology, which affects the amount of water intercepted by vegetation and therefore the partitioning of evaporation and transpiration. ...
Article
We have used the Grid ENabled Integrated Earth system modelling (GENIE) framework to undertake a systematic search for bi-stability of the ocean thermohaline circulation (THC) for different surface grids and r...

Article
Climate model simulations available from the PMIP1, PMIP2 and CMIP (IPCC-AR4) intercomparison projects for past and future climate change simulations are examined in terms of polar temperature changes in compa...
Article
The analyses of low-resolution models simulations of the last glacial maximum (LGM, 21 kyr BP) climate have revealed a large discrepancy between all the models and pollen-based palaeoclimatic reconstructions. ...
Article
The role of prescribing sea surface temperature in paleoclimate atmospheric simulations has been investigated by comparing Last Glacial Maximum AGCMs experiments using different SSTs data sets as well as coup...
Article
The conditions of development of mid-latitude depressions (synoptic eddies) in the winter Northern Hemisphere mid-latitudes at the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, 21 000 years ago) are very different from the pres...
Article
We investigate the climates of the present-day, Inception of the Last Glaciation (115 000 y ago) and Last Glacial Maximum (21 000 y ago) in the extra-tropical north Atlantic and Europe, as simulated by the La...
Article
The climate during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) has been simulated using the UK Universities Global Atmospheric Modelling Programme (UGAMP) general circulation model (GCM) with both prescribed sea surface t...
