| Zusammenfassung |
| The mid-Pliocene period (3.3 to 3.0 Ma) is known as a warm climate with
atmospheric greenhouse gas levels similar to the present. As the climate at
this time was in equilibrium with the greenhouse forcing, it is a valuable
test case to better understand the long-term response to high levels of
atmospheric greenhouse gases. In this study, we use the low resolution
version of the Norwegian Earth System Model (NorESM-L) to simulate the
pre-industrial and the mid-Pliocene climate. Comparison of the simulation
with observations demonstrates that NorESM-L simulates a realistic
pre-industrial climate. The simulated mid-Pliocene global mean surface air
temperature is 16.7 °C, which is 3.2 °C warmer than the
pre-industrial. The simulated mid-Pliocene global mean sea surface
temperature is 19.1 °C, which is 2.0 °C warmer than the
pre-industrial. The warming is relatively uniform globally, except for a
strong amplification at high latitudes. |
