Modes and Mechanisms of Holocene Climate Variability

小行星9708552 该奖项支持一个会议，以确定全新世气候变化的时间，幅度和区域特征，并根据古气候记录，天气气候学和气候模拟研究讨论可能的因果机制。 这次会议将提供一个机会，介绍新的全新世陆地，海洋和冰芯古气候数据，并在现代气候变化的模式和机制的背景下评估这些记录。 来自气候模拟界的贡献将解决由于规定的全新世边界条件变化引起的海洋-大气气候模型响应。 量化全新世气候变率特别重要，因为上世纪的仪器数据不可能反映出自然“温暖气候”变率的全部范围。

9708552 deMenocal This award supports a conference to define the timing, amplitude, and regional signatures of Holocene climate variability and discuss possible causal mechanisms based on the paleoclimatic record, synoptic climatology, and climate modeling studies. This meeting will serve as an opportunity to present new Holocene terrestrial, marine, and ice core paleoclimate data, and to evaluate these records within the context of modes and mechanisms of modern climate variability. Contributions from the climate modeling community will address ocean-atmosphere climate model responses due to prescribed Holocene boundary condition changes. Quantifying Holocene climate variability is particularly relevant since it is unlikely that the full range of natural "warm climate" variability is reflected in the last century of instrumental data.
