INTRODUCTION AND MOTIVATION

THE GENIE MODEL IGCM EMBM Goldstein Slab Atmosphere Fixed Land surface MOSES/ TRIFFID Simple Seaice Goldstein Slab Ocean Ice-sheet GLIMMER Energy-balance Biogeochemistry BIO-GEM

RESULTS(1) – Tuning the IGCM atmosphere Methodology: (1) Identify tuneable parameters (29) . (2) Carry out an initial control simulation. (3) For each of the 29 tuneable parameters, carry out 4 simulations, 2+ve pertubations, 2-ve pertubations. (4) Calculate a skill score for every simulation (based on mean error cf NCEP temp. and precip., DJF and JJA). (5) Create a new control simulation by applying the best 5 pertubations to the previous control. (6) Repeat from (2)

RESULTS(1) – Tuning the IGCM atmosphere Most improving parameters: 1st iteration: humidity at which large scale-clouds form. 2nd iteration: bulk aerodynamic coefficient for L,H Other improving parameters: e.g. roughness length of ocean, typical timescale for convection. Also, turning off the convection scheme improves precip!

RESULTS(1) – Tuning the IGCM atmosphere IGCM untuned IGCM tuned DJF surface temperature - NCEP 11% DJF 17% JJA HadAM3

RESULTS(1) – Tuning the IGCM atmosphere IGCM untuned IGCM tuned JJA precip - NCEP 0.1% DJF 10% JJA HadAM3

RESULTS(2) – Ensemble of Last Glacial Maximum simulations Is the LGM or the modern climate more sensitive to uncertainties in internal model parameters? 59-member ensemble of LGM and modern simulation pairs. Each of 58 pairs represent a +ve or –ve anomaly of one of 29 parameters. Plus control pair. PMIP boundary conditions except ICE5G ice-sheets for LGM. ‘Relative sensitivity’, RS, parameters calculated for each pair RS=log( abs( (LGM-LGMcont)/(PD-PDcont) ) ) RS +ve means LGM more sensitive than modern RS –ve means modern more sensitive than LGM RS calculated for 28 parameters, NH/SH DJF/JJA temp/precip +ve/-ve = 448 values.

RESULTS(2) – Ensemble of Last Glacial Maximum simulations 212 modern vs. 162 LGM. In particular, SH winter temperatures.

RESULTS(3) – Moisture flux experiments with Goldstein Decreasing flux, Inreasing flux Lohman (LGM) Oort (modern) IGCM (LGM) Miller+Rusell (LGM)

FUTURE WORK To complete the coupling of the IGCM atmosphere to Goldstein ocean to MOSES/TRIFFID land surface to GLIMMER ice-sheet. Integrate Tiedtke convection scheme into IGCM. Tune the modern model components with EnKF scheme. Long-term transient simulations (glacial/interglacial cycle) Short-timescale experiments, e.g. 8.2 kyrBP holocene cooling event.

CONCLUSIONS IGCM has been tuned with sledgehammer approach. Temperature responds well, precip not much improved – need to replace with new scheme. Modern atmosphere is more sensitive to internal model parameters than the LGM. Goldstein ocean sensitive to LGM Atlantic-Pacific freshwater flux. Coupling to IGCM will allow an investigation of the ocean’s response to interannual, decadal, and centennial variations in this flux. Many experiments/investigations to be carried out soon!
