Climate and environments of the mid-Pliocene warm period (3.264 to 3.025 Ma) have been extensively studied. Whilst numerical models have shed light on the nature of climate at the time, uncertainties…

Abstract The physical processes associated with the ∼70-yr period climate mode, known as the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation (AMO), are examined. Based on analyses of observational data, a…

From coral records and simulations with a coupled atmosphere–ocean circulation model, it is concluded that a tendency towards the high-index state of the North Atlantic Oscillation during the last interglacial period contributed to the larger amplitude of the seasonal cycle in the Middle East.

It is shown, by using a comprehensive fully coupled model, that gradual changes in the height of the Northern Hemisphere ice sheets (NHISs) can alter the coupled atmosphere–ocean system and cause rapid glacial climate shifts closely resembling DO events.
Coupling of millennial‐scale changes in sea surface temperature and precipitation off northeastern Brazil with high‐latitude climate shifts during the last glacial period

It is shown that climate models simulate a robust global annual mean warming in the Holocene, mainly in response to rising CO2 and the retreat of ice sheets, and this model-data inconsistency demands a critical reexamination of both proxy data and models.
