Use of paleo climate modeling
Snapshot simulations of past climates by climate models can be very useful to investigate the physical mechanisms of climate change. They can be used for example to test the sensitivity of the climate system to supposed forcing of past climates such as variations in solar radiation, ice sheet extent or CO2.
![Page 5: Modeling of paleo-monsoon Akio KITOH](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56814643550346895db34da1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Use of paleo climate modeling (cont)
Past climate simulations also allow us to test the simulated climate sensitivity. AGCM parameterizations are developed and validated by using present-day observations. However, current data cannot ensure that these parameterizations will produce a correct sensitivity of the climate. Past climates offer a unique opportunity to test model results in this respect, at least when sufficiently quantitative and globally distributed paleo-data are available and when the causes of the changes are deterministic and well quantified.

Insolation at present and 6,000 years ago
In the NH, insolation was larger in summer and less in winter. Annual mean insolation anomaly was positive in high latitudes, and was negative, about –1 W/m2, in the tropics.
![Page 23: Modeling of paleo-monsoon Akio KITOH](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56814643550346895db34da1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
TOA insolation difference at 6ka and 21ka
Note the different scale.
The 6ka has a larger seasonal variation with negative anomaly in NH winter and positive in NH summer.
In the tropics, annual mean difference is -1 W/m2 in 6ka and +1 W/m2 in 21ka.

PMIP
Following the insolation change, all PMIP models simulate an increased seasonal cycle of temperature over the continents of the northern hemisphere, reaching about +/-1C on global average for the winter/summer seasons.
![Page 28: Modeling of paleo-monsoon Akio KITOH](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56814643550346895db34da1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
PMIP
The summer warming reaches a maximum between 40N and 50N with more than 2C, whereas the cooling occurs further south, between 0N and 30N, with a similar magnitude.

PMIP
An annual mean global cooling of about 4C is obtained by all the models forced by the CLIMAP SST estimates. The range of cooling is larger when using computed SSTs, from –6C to –2C, since models are no longer constrained by the same change in SST.
![Page 40: Modeling of paleo-monsoon Akio KITOH](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56814643550346895db34da1/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
PMIP
Compared to the fixed SST experiments, computed SST experiments produce a greater inter-hemispheric difference with a weaker cooling in the southern hemisphere due to less sea ice extent than prescribed by CLIMAP. In the tropics, computed SSTs are colder than CLIMAP, especially over the tropical Pacific where the warm pools of CLIMAP are not reproduced.
![Page 41: Modeling of paleo-monsoon Akio KITOH](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56814643550346895db34da1/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
PMIP
According to both sets of PMIP simulations, the LGM climate is also more arid over most of the northern continents and in the tropics. At the regional scale, the simulations are characterized by a number of common features, including a reduction in the strength of the Afro-Asian monsoon and increased intertropical aridity.

JJA 850hPa Winds: CO2 vs 6ka
Also similar each other.
There is a northward shift of monsoon westerly around India, easterly anomaly in the western Pacific, westerly anomaly around Japan, and westerly anomaly in the equatorial eastern Pacific.

JJA Surface Temperature: CO2 vs 6ka
The CO2 run shows an overall increase with its maximum in the 40 deg latitude. There is a mimimum over the monsoon rain belt due to increased rainfall.
In the 6ka run, temperature increases in the northern continent. The monsoon rain belt corresponds to negative temperature anomaly. SST lower about 0.4 deg C.
