  1. Simulations, Observations &Palæoclimatic data: climate variability over the last 500 years ECHAM4/HOPE-G = ECHO-G runs, forcings, results so far Hans von Storch Institute for Coastal Research, GKSS Research Centre, Geesthacht, Germany SO&P startup meeting, Norwich, 23+24 January 2003

  2. List of simulations ECHO-G f77 Control run, 1990 conditions, 1000 year long Forced run, 1500-1990, 12-h output “Christof Columbus” Forced run: 1650-1710, 12-h output Forced run: 1650-1710, 6-h output Remo ECHO-G f90 Control run, 1990 conditions, 400 years long Control run, 1850 conditions, 1000 years long Forced run, 1000-2000, 12-h output ongoing) “Erik the Red” Control run, 1610 conditions, 50 years long Forced run, 1650-1710, 6-h output Remo

  3. Planed simulations ECHO-G f90 A second Forced simulation 1000-2000 Depending on differences between both forced simulations f77 f90 Forced simulation 1750-2000, no volcanoes Forced simulation 1750-2000, no solar variability Forced simulation 1750-2000, no greenhouse gas variability Planed simulations REMO Medieval Optimum, Europe

  4. Model used is ECHO-G, • a community model provided by Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, • maintained by Model & Data at MPI for Meteorology in Hamburg • The runs are made and evaluated in a consortium: • Institute for Coastal Research, GKSS • Meteorological Department, Free University Berlin • Model & Data, MPI for Meteorology, Hamburg • Department for Meteorology and Climatology, U Complutense, Madrid • and Universities in Lecce (Italy), Nanjing (China). • Comparison with historical and geological data are made together with • „KIHZ partners“ (Alfred Wegener I, Bremerhaven; Geoforschungszentrum, Potsdam; FZ Jülich, and others) • U Bern, Switzerland

  5. Variations in the effective solar constant including variations in solar irradiance and volcanic aerosols (Crowley, 2000) Estimated changes in methane CH4 Estimated changes in CO2 (Etheridge et al., 1996)

  11. Late Maunder Minimum Cold winters and springs, 1675-1710

  12. The Late Maunder Minimum (LMM) is the coldest phase of the so-called ‘Little Ice Age’ with marked climatic variability over wide parts of Europe. 1675-1710vs. 1550-1800 Reconstruction from historical evidence, from Luterbacher et al. Temperature conditions in Switzerland according to Pfister‘s classification. From Luterbacher, 2001

  17. Corals off Madagaskar The empirically reconstructed 338 year record of variations in sea-surface temperatures as inferred from the 1982-95 annual mean 18O -SST calibration equations using SST observations from different sources. (From Zinke)

  18. Institut für Küstenforschung I f K ·Galapagos (E-Pacific, 1oS, 90oW, Dunbar et al., 1994): 367 years of coral 18O records from 1587-1953, with annual resolution. The intervals 1660-80, 1710-1800 and 1870-95 were found warmer than “normal”, whereas the intervals 1600-1660, 1680-1700 (LMM) and 1800-25 cooler than on average. 18O increases of about 0.1-0.15‰ heavier during LMM than between 1660-70 and 1705-50 is indicative for a cooling of 0.5-0.75K. ·New Caledonia (SW-Pacific, 22oS, 166oE, Quinn et al., 1998): 335 years of coral 18O records from 1657-1952, with seasonal resolution. The records describe a brief interval of modest cooling in the late 17th century, with an annual mean SST about 0.2-0.3K cooler between 1680-1740 than between 1660-80 and 1740-50 ·Great Barrier Reef, Abraham Reef (SW-Pacific, 22oS, 153oE, Druffel and Griffin, 1993): 323 years of coral 18Orecords from 1635-1957, with bi-annual resolution. More positive 18O values (ca. 0.1‰) during the LMM, are consistent with lower SST’s of about 0.5K Zinke, pers. communication

  19. Marine Sediments Off Peru deMenocal et al. (2000) Indicator for bio-productivity and intensity of upwelling in the ocean off Peru. The indicator is derived from characteristics in the marine sediment. Higher values are associated with stronger upwelling and lower values with reduced upwelling.
