2 The IPSL-CM4 coupled model LMDZ: atmospheric physics and dynamics horizontal resolution 96x72, 19 vertical layers OPA: ocean dynamics based on a 2 degrees Mercator mesh (orca), 31 vertical levels LIM: sea-ice dynamics and thermodynamics ORCHIDEE: land surface OASIS Marti et al 2008 http://mc2.ipsl.jussieu.fr/simules.html, http://igcmg.ipsl.jussieu.fr/Doc/IPSLCM4/

3 The IPSL-CM4 coupled model Simulations: - CTRL1000 years control simulation, preindustrial GHGs and tropospheric aerosols concentrations - SOL 950 years (1001-1950) years simulation including solar forcing, historical GHGs (Joos et al. 2008) and preindustrial tropospheric aerosols concentrations - SOLVOL 300 years (starting yr 850) simulation including solar +volcanic forcing

5 SOL – northern hemisphere temperatures Reconstructions overlap Osborn and Briffa, IPCC AR4, Solomon et al. 2007 Good global agreement, Cold « bias » (Missing volcanoes, which would have decreased the warming between 1700-1900.) Correlation with TSI: 0.74 Servonnat et al., in prep.
