Conceptual model simulations of the Miocene Antarctic ice sheet

We present results from ice volume simulations, performed using a conceptual model of transient ice volume variability. This model is based on the notion that at any level of a control parameter (C), in our case a CO2-index, an ice sheet will grow or shrink towards an equilibrium state (Veq). Details are given in the accompanying publication. For more information or data, please contact the authors.Dataset 2020_Stap_data_pism.xlsx contains the results from the simulations using the input C-Veq relation, and growth and decay rates, which mimic Miocene Antarctic ice sheet results obtained using the 3D thermodynamical ice sheet model PISM.Dataset 2020_Stap_data_linear.xlsx contains the results from the simulations using the simple linear C-Veq relation and growth and decay rates specified per experiment.Dataset 2020_Stap_data_hysteresis.xlsx contains the results from the simulations using the piecewise linear C-Veq relation with hysteresis, and growth and decay rates specified per experiment, which are discussed in the Appendix of the accompanying publication.
