The Pliocene Model Intercomparsion Project (PlioMIP) - Phase 1 and where next...?? Alan M. Haywood Advisory Group: Ayako Abe-Ouchi, Mark Chandler, Aisling Dolan, Harry Dowsett, Daniel Lunt, Bette Otto-Bliesner, Ulrich Salzmann.
It began in 2007/2008 To produce our best representation of a warm world in the Pliocene and assess model dependency Workshop 1: Goddard Institute for Space Studies 2008 Workshop 2: US Geological Survey 2011
What did we do? • Formal MIP and not an ensemble of opportunity • 2 Pliocene experiments (1 × AGCM, 1 × AOGCM) • Set up with the best boundary conditions available from the PRISM Project (Pliocene Research Interpretations and Synoptic Mapping): • SST/sea-ice (AGCM) • Topography (as an anomaly) • Vegetation (new within PMIP) • CO2 at 405 ppmv • Deep ocean temperatures*
What did we achieve? • Hold our heads up high here… over 20 published papers and still counting
