  2. The IPSL-CM4 coupled model LMDZ: atmospheric physics and dynamics horizontal resolution 96x72, 19 vertical layers ORCHIDEE: land surface OASIS OPA: ocean dynamics based on a 2 degrees Mercator mesh (orca), 31 vertical levels LIM: sea-ice dynamics and thermodynamics Marti et al 2008 http://mc2.ipsl.jussieu.fr/simules.html, http://igcmg.ipsl.jussieu.fr/Doc/IPSLCM4/

  3. The IPSL-CM4 coupled model • Simulations: • CTRL1000 years control simulation, preindustrial GHGs and tropospheric aerosols concentrations • SOL 950 years (1001-1950) years simulation including solar forcing, historical GHGs (Joos et al. 2008) and preindustrial tropospheric aerosols concentrations • SOLVOL 300 years (starting yr 850) simulation including solar +volcanic forcing
