Date: 8-10 January 2025
Location: AWI Bremerhaven, Germany and online via webex (Hybrid)
Time: Exact length of the meeting (2 vs. 3 days) depends on the agenda currently being drafted.
Further details will be forthcoming as soon as possible.
Description
The PMIP (Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project) panel has been quite active in trying to get PMIP content into the CMIP7 Fasttrack portfolio. With our abrupt_127ka (LIGabrupt) simulation we have managed to achieve this goal (see here for more information).
Our contribution to CMIP7 Fasttrack is therefore locked in. Now, that details of CMIP7 are taking shape, and details of forcings are being discussed, it is also time to kick off the PMIP Quaternary Interglacials modelling and model-model/model-data intercomparison effort. You, the paleoclimate science community, both modelers and non-modelers, are cordially invited to get involved in shaping the next round of PMIP Interglacials.
We aim to focus the various ongoing informal discussions by means of a short (2-3 days) community workshop in 2025, where we would like to bring together people from the various scientific fields, discuss the status of PMIP and shape our plans.
Aim of the meeting
We would very much like to use this meeting to connect scientists towards shaping the various action items:
- formulating scientific questions to be answered by means of the PMIP Interglacials WG
- selection of model setups
- potential consideration of additional time slices beyond Holocene and Last Interglacial
- defining details of the modelling protocol
- shaping the data request (length of model time series, variables, output frequencies)
- definition of boundary conditions, identifying the unknowns
- identification and improvement of observational/proxy data sets
- defining our work plan for the next 2-3 years on the road to IPCC AR7
