摘要
Past climate conditions represent a many faceted challenge for our understanding of the natural variability of the climate system and of the major interactions between its various components. This paper presents a short review of the evolution of past climate simulations using three-dimensional models for the Last Glacial Maximum and the mid-Holocene climates. Its shows how the increase in model complexity allows to test new ideas and mechanisms, using results from the Paleoclimate Modeling Intercomparison Project (PMIP) and from simulations where the atmospheric model is coupled to an ocean or a vegetation model. The two periods are respectively representative of the response of the climate system to an annual mean forcing and a seasonal forcing. (C) 2004 Academie des sciences. Publie par Elsevier SAS.
