Abstract

The NCAR CSM is used to simulate the climate at Last Glacial Maximum. The CSM simulates a tropical SST cooling of 2.1°C. It is shown that about half of this tropical cooling is associated with the upper ocean circulation, especially the ventilation of thermocline and intermediate waters from the mid/ high latitude South Pacific.
