Bern3D Model Output for Pre-Industrial and Last Glacial Maximum Climates

Model results from five Bern3D Earth system simulations published by Frerk Pöppelmeier at the University of Bern in 2021. The datasets compare pre-industrial conditions with various Last Glacial Maximum scenarios, including changes to ocean circulation and wind patterns.

Use Cases

• Compare pre-industrial and glacial climate states based on the described simulation scenarios.
• Analyze the impact of ocean circulation changes on glacial climate based on the LGM_BS simulation.
• Study the combined effects of wind and tidal forcing on glacial conditions based on the LGM_BS+wind+tidal simulation.
• Validate or benchmark other climate models against established Bern3D outputs for the Last Glacial Maximum.

Strengths

• Results from a peer-reviewed model published in Climate of the Past Discussions.
• Includes five distinct simulation scenarios for comparative analysis.
• Associated with a specific DOI (10.5194/cp-2020-135) for citation and provenance.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data freshness is unverified as the last update date is unknown.
