Evolution of the large-scale atmospheric circulation in response to changing ice sheets over the last glacial cycle
We present modelling results of the atmospheric circulation at the cold periods of marine
isotope stage 5b (MIS 5b), MIS 4 and the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), as well as the
interglacial. The palaeosimulations are forced by ice-sheet reconstructions consistent with
geological evidence and by appropriate insolation and greenhouse gas concentrations. The
results suggest that the large-scale atmospheric winter circulation remained largely similar
to the interglacial for a significant part of the glacial cycle. The proposed explanation is that …
