General information
CVAS is thrilled to announce the launch of the CVAS seminar series, focusing on climate model development and tuning, a key aspect of CVAS phase 3. Our aim is to foster engaging discussions by inviting experts in climate model development to share insights into their work's history, philosophy, and the challenges they face. Specifically, we seek to explore the ability of climate models to simulate potential instability, or whether they were "Built for stability" (Valdes, 2011; https://doi.org/10.1038/ngeo1200).
We are eager to develop approaches that enable us to explore a broader model parameter space and identify parameters associated with the amplitude and spatial structure of supra-decadal variability. This will enhance our ability to reproduce changes observed in paleoclimate data, thus bolstering our confidence in climate models' capacity to simulate future changes.
The presentations will be followed by an open discussion, serving as a vital and integral component of our seminar series.

Description
The second session features Pepijn Bakker, who investigated the spatio-temporal temperature variability structure using a perturbed-parameter ensemble with the iLOVECLIM Earth System Model containing various levels of AMOC-related internal variability, and comparisons with PAGES2k proxy data.
