A modified Köppen classification applied to model simulations of glacial and interglacial climates<br />

Abstract A series of experiments was done using an atmospheric general circulation model to simulate climates from full<br />

glacial time at 18 ka (thousands of years before the present) to the present at 3000 year intervals, and at 126 ka,<br />

the previous interglacial period. A modified Köppen climate classification was developed to aid in the<br />

interpretation of the results of the circulation model experiments. The climate classification scheme permits the<br />

characterization of eleven distinct seasonal temperature and precipitation regimes. For the modern climate, the<br />

modified classification agrees well with a classification of natural vegetation zones, and provides an easilyassimilated<br />

depiction of climate changes resulting from the varying boundary conditions in the past. At 18 ka,<br />

the time of glacial maximum, 45% of the land surface had climate classifications different from the present. At<br />

126 ka, a time when northern hemisphere summer radiation was much greater than at present owing to changes<br />

in the date of perihelion and tilt of the earth's axis, the corresponding difference was 32%. For all experiments -<br />

3 to 18 ka and 126 ka - only 30% of the land surface showed no change in climate classification from the<br />

present. Core areas showing no change included the Amazon basin, the northern Sahara and Australia.<br />
