From August 19 – 21 on the UConn campus and virtually
Description:
This workshop is funded by the National Science Foundation (No. 2238875) with the goal to integrate PlioMIP and DeepMIP experiments with proxy data to better understand varying climate forcing, feedbacks, and sensitivity across warm intervals. More specifically, we will use this workshop to 1) connect modelers working on PlioMIP and DeepMIP to discuss progress, challenges, and future directions, 2) facilitate conversations between the modeling and proxy reconstruction communities to help identify underexplored areas of comparison, 3) work towards future MIP protocols that allow for consistent cross-time interval comparisons and studies of climate forcing, feedbacks and sensitivity. This workshop will serve as the starting point to 1) identify topics for future data-model comparison that help understand different processes operating during a hot climate such as the early-Eocene versus a warm climate such as the mid-Pliocene, and 2) identify a set of new or existing experiments and common tools that allow comparisons of climate forcing and feedbacks across these two intervals.
