Description
The MILLENNIUM project aims at ensemble simulation of the last millenium (800-2000 AD) using the comprehensive COSMOS Earth System Model. The ESM complex circulation models for the ocean and atmosphere and includes an interactive carbon cycle. The forcing stems from most recent reconstructions of solar, volcanic and orbital variations and land use changes. Scientific objectives of the project are (among others): The discrimination between natural variability and anthropogenic clmate change, the identification of hot-spots of climate change and variability, variations in the atmospheric circulation patterns, and the test of statistical reconstruction methods.
