(44-1603)593909 (44-1603)507784 k.briffa@uea.ac.uk SOAP will establish the capability of state-of-the-art European climate models for simulating climate changes over the past 500 years.
The project will explore & quantify the model responses to natural & anthropogenic forcings on regional & global scales.
SOAP will construct climate data sets, including seasonal temperature, precipitation, atmospheric circulation & sea level, with local to hemispheric coverage.
These will be a combination of instrumental, historical & rigorously calibrated palaeoclimate proxies.
The characteristic variability contained in these data sets will be compared with the output of the forced & unforced climate models.
By integrated analyses of the simulated & reconstructed climates, we will evaluate the credibility of these climate models, identify externally-forced climate signals, & re-assess climate change detection results that are currently based on untested model estimates of natural variability. 36

* To use observational and reconstructed climate, and climate simulations under historical external forcing, to evaluate the reliability of state-of-the-art climate models that are currently used in climate change signal detection studies and for future climate predictions. * To analyse simulated climate variations for the period AD 1500-2000 using two advanced climate models forced with natural (volcanic aerosols, solar irradiance and orbital changes) and combined natural and anthropogenic (greenhouse gases, ozone, and sulphate aerosols) forcings. * To provide improved regional estimates of the natural variability of climate on annual, decadal, and century time scales over the last 500 years, based on a new compendium and calibration of instrumental, documentary and palaeoclimate records.
Climate variations from AD 1500-2000 simulated using two state-of-the-art coupled climate models, run under natural and also combined natural/anthropogenic forcing will be analysed.
The results will be intercompared and also compared with long control integrations to identify climate responses to external forcings.
Accurately dated, annually-resolved palaeoclimate records and existing reconstructions will be assembled, giving dense and widespread coverage over much of the Northern Hemisphere and the tropics, spanning the last 500 years.
The palaeodata will be calibrated against instrumental records to yield climate reconstructions with explicit time-dependent uncertainty.
Methods will be developed to allow like-with-like comparison between palaeo and model data.
Simulations will be compared with the proxy data to evaluate the veracity of the climate models.
Comparison of means and variances of temperature, precipitation and important climate indices (NAO, ENSO, etc.) and on statistics linked to extreme events, will also be employed.
Signal detection techniques will be applied to attempt to detect, in the proxy data, the large-scale simulated response to external forcing.
The proxy and model data will be merged to obtain improved estimates of natural variability.
The improved, spatially-explicit evidence of natural variability will be used in detection studies that previously used only unforced model integrations.
Sea level variations will be diagnosed from the climate model simulations (utilising an existing glacier-melt model and oceanic thermal expansion), and compared with recent palaeo sea level and tide gauge estimates for two North Atlantic regions.
Month 12: Climate model simulations of climate variability complete.
Month 13: Methodologies for comparison of reconstructed & simulated data developed.
Month 24: AD 1500-2000 climate reconstructions using palaeodata complete.
Month 36: Evaluation, comparison & synthesis of simulated & palaeoclimate varibility complete.
Month 36: Interpretation of simulated & reconstructed sea level variatiations over the last 500 years.
