Journal ArticleDOI

Donges,Jonathan F. Donges,Ingo Fetzer,Steven J. Lade,Steven J. Lade,Marten Scheffer,Ricarda Winkelmann,Hans Joachim Schellnhuber,Hans Joachim Schellnhuber,Hans Joachim Schellnhuber +20 more
TL;DR: The risk that self-reinforcing feedbacks could push the Earth System toward a planetary threshold that, if crossed, could prevent stabilization of the climate at intermediate temperature rises and cause continued warming on a “Hothouse Earth” pathway even as human emissions are reduced is explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Results of PMIP2 coupled simulations of the Mid-Holocene and Last Glacial Maximum - Part 1: experiments and large-scale features

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of coupled ocean-atmosphere simulations using state-of-the-art climate models is presented for the Last Glacial Maximum and the Mid-Holocene through the second phase of the Paleoclimate Modeling Intercomparison Project (PMIP2).
Journal ArticleDOI
Earth system models of intermediate complexity: closing the gap in the spectrum of climate system models
Martin Claussen,Lawrence A. Mysak,Andrew J. Weaver,Michel Crucifix,Thierry Fichefet,Marie-France Loutre,S. L. Weber,Joseph Alcamo,Vladimir A. Alexeev,André Berger,Reinhard Calov,Andrey Ganopolski,Hugues Goosse,Gerrit Lohmann,Frank Lunkeit,Mokhov,Petoukhov,Peter Stone,Zhaomin Wang +18 more
TL;DR: A new indicator, called "integration", is introduced, which characterizes the number of interacting components of the climate system being explicitly described in a model, which is closer to comprehensive coupled models of atmospheric and oceanic circulation than to "conceptual" or "box" models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermohaline circulation hysteresis: A model intercomparison
Stefan Rahmstorf,Michel Crucifix,Andrey Ganopolski,Hugues Goosse,Igor Kamenkovich,Reto Knutti,Gerrit Lohmann,Robert Marsh,Lawrence A. Mysak,Zhaomin Wang,Andrew J. Weaver +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, an intercomparison of 11 different climate models of intermediate complexity, in which the North Atlantic Ocean was subjected to slowly varying changes in freshwater input, was conducted.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The Hadley Centre Global Environmental Model version 1 (HadGEM1) is built around a new atmospheric dynamical core and uses higher resolution than the previous Hadley Center model, HadCM3; and contains several improvements in its formulation including interactive atmospheric aerosols as discussed by the authors.
