A Last Glacial Maximum forcing dataset for ocean modelling

Anne L. Morée and Jörg Schwinger

Data sets

PMIP3-based Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) pre-industrial (PI) anomaly fields for addition to PI ocean model forcing, version 3 Anne L. Morée Jörg Schwinger https://doi.org/10.11582/2020.00052

Short summary

This dataset consists of eight variables needed in ocean modelling and is made to support modelers of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM; 21 000 years ago) ocean. The LGM is a time of specific interest for climate researchers. The data are based on the results of state-of-the-art climate models and are the best available estimate of these variables for the LGM. The dataset shows clear spatial patterns but large uncertainties and is presented in a way that facilitates applications in any ocean model.
