Tropical cooling at the last glacial maximum and extratropical ocean ventilation1CCR contribution number: 780.

[1] The NCAR CSM is used to simulate the climate at Last Glacial Maximum. The CSM simulates a tropical SST cooling of 2.1degreesC. 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.
