    p/ppBelow we have listed questions that we have in mind. What are your questions?

  • What do you need from PMIP to be able to answer these questions?

    pTowards defining a data request, that considers all data relevant for your research, we would like to know details about the model data that you would like to analyze based on PMIP Interglacials. Please think about:/pp⇒ Variables from climate model output, that you need for your analyses/ppnbsp;nbsp;nbsp; ⇒ classical prognostic climate model variables, like temperature or salinity/ppnbsp;nbsp;nbsp; ⇒ diagnostics like meridional overturning circulation stream function/ppnbsp;nbsp;nbsp; ⇒ output from advanced model components like stable water isotope codes/ppnbsp;nbsp;nbsp; ⇒ model realm (specific quantities, e.g. sea ice, may be present in various model components)/pp⇒ For each of these variables, please think about/ppnbsp;nbsp;nbsp; ⇒ spatial resolution and coordinate system for the data/ppnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; ⇒ native (irregular) grid of the model component vs./ppnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; ⇒ data interpolated to a regular resolution/ppnbsp;nbsp;nbsp; ⇒ time resolution, e.g. for analysis of extremes (atmospheric blocking, (ocean) heat waves, ...)/p
