1 The Pliocene Model Intercomparsion Project (PlioMIP) - Phase 1
DESERT STORMS Towards an Improved Representation of Meteoro-logical Processes in Models of Mineral Dust Emission The Pliocene Model Intercomparsion Project (PlioMIP) - Phase 1 and where next...?? Alan M. Haywood Advisory Group: Ayako Abe-Ouchi, Mark Chandler, Aisling Dolan, Harry Dowsett, Daniel Lunt, Bette Otto-Bliesner, Ulrich Salzmann. Peter Knippertz, University of Leeds

2 DESERT STORMS Towards an Improved Representation of Meteoro-logical Processes in Models of Mineral Dust Emission It began in 2007/2008 To produce our best representation of a warm world in the Pliocene and assess model dependency 16 Institute and ca. 120 Wissenschaftler beteiligen sich an IMPETUS Workshop 1: Goddard Institute for Space Studies 2008 Workshop 2: US Geological Survey 2011 Peter Knippertz, University of Leeds

3 What did we do? Formal MIP and not an ensemble of opportunity
DESERT STORMS Towards an Improved Representation of Meteoro-logical Processes in Models of Mineral Dust Emission What did we do? Formal MIP and not an ensemble of opportunity 2 Pliocene experiments (1 × AGCM, 1 × AOGCM) Set up with the best boundary conditions available from the PRISM Project (Pliocene Research Interpretations and Synoptic Mapping): SST/sea-ice (AGCM) Topography (as an anomaly) Vegetation (new within PMIP) CO2 at 405 ppmv Deep ocean temperatures* 16 Institute and ca. 120 Wissenschaftler beteiligen sich an IMPETUS Peter Knippertz, University of Leeds
