Paleo Climate

Karger, D. N., Nobis, M. P., Normand, S., Graham, C. H., & Zimmermann, N. E. (2023). CHELSA-TraCE21k – high-resolution (1km) downscaled transient temperature and precipitation data since the Last Glacial Maximum. Climate of the Past, 19(2), 439–456. https://doi.org/10.5194/cp-19-439-2023

CHELSA provides high resolution paleo climatic data for different time periods. There are several models based on PMIP3 available for the last glacial maximum (LGM) and an additional centennial timeseries from the LGM till today (CHELSA-TraCE21k).

Comparison between 1981-2010 mean annual 2m air temperatures with those during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) modeled using CHELSA-TraCE21k.
