The model includes the spectral atmospheric model ECHAM6.3 at T31 horizontal resolution (approx. 3.75°) and 31 vertical levels, the land surface vegetation model JSBACH3.2, and the primitive equation ocean model MPIOM1.6 with a nominal resolution of 3°. The applied setup was introduced in detail in Kapsch et al. (2021 and 2022). For the experiment, the model was integrated from a glacial state at 26 ka to the year 1950 with prescribed atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations (Köhler et al., 2017) and insolation (Berger & Loutre, 1991). Ice sheets and surface topographies were prescribed from ICE-6G (Peltier et al., 2015) reconstructions. All forcing fields are updated every 10 years of the simulations and initiate changes in the topography, glacier mask, river pathways, ocean bathymetry, and land-sea mask. Meltwater from ice sheets is calculated as the temporal derivative of ice thickness at grid points covered by grounded ice sheets. The derived meltwater is then distributed by the hydrological discharge model and finally released into the ocean as freshwater. The experiment was performed as part of a model ensemble that contains simulations differing in terms of their tuning parameters, parameterizations and bug fixes. The ensemble is described in detail in the Supplementary Material of Kapsch et al. (2022). The current simulation refers to ICE6G_P1 in Kapsch et al. (2022) and is significantly warmer during the glacial than model versions P2 and P3, indicating a weaker sensitivity to greenhouse gas changes. The glacial cooling over the North Atlantic is more realistic in P2 and P3 than in P1. P2 and P3 are also more sensitive to small changes in the meltwater forcing than P1. The experiment was performed as part of a model ensemble that contains simulations differing in terms of their tuning parameters, parameterizations, bug fixes and forcing. These differences are described according to the CMIP6 nomenclature, where r denotes the realization, i the initialization method, p differences in the physics and f in the forcing. The ensemble is described in detail in the Supplementary Material of Kapsch et al. (2022).

The root depth is maximum depth of soil reached by plant roots, from which they can extract moisture.[CF-Standard Name]; unit: m cell_area Model Grid-Cell Area [CF-Standard Name]; unit: m2 soil_moisture_content_at_field_capacity "moisture" means water in all phases contained in soil. "Content" indicates a quantity per unit area. The "soil content" of a quantity refers to the vertical integral from the surface down to the bottom of the soil model. For the content between specified levels in the soil, standard names including content_of_soil_layer are used. The field capacity of soil is the maximum content of water it can retain against gravitational drainage. [CF-Standard Name]; unit: kg m-2 convective_precipitation_flux In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics. [CF-Standard Name]; unit: kg m-2 s-1 surface_air_pressure The surface called "surface" means the lower boundary of the atmosphere.[CF-Standard Name]; unit: Pa ocean_volume Ocean Grid-Cell Volume [CF-Standard Name]; unit: m3 surface_temperature The surface called "surface" means the lower boundary of the atmosphere. The surface temperature is the (skin) temperature at the interface, not the bulk temperature of the medium above or below. [CF-Standard Name]; unit: K surface_downwelling_shortwave_flux_in_air surface_downwelling_shortwave_flux_in_air [CF-Standard Name]; unit: W m-2 sea_ice_area_fraction sea_ice_area_fraction [CF-Standard Name]; unit: % tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_water_vapor_due_to_sublimation_of_surface_snow_and_ice Surface Snow and Ice Sublimation Flux Comment: The snow and ice sublimation flux is the loss of snow and ice mass per unit area from the surface resulting from their direct conversion to water vapor that enters the atmosphere.

Codelist created on 2019-02-01 from https://github.com/PCMDI/cmip6-cmor-tables (CMOR Version=3.4; table_date(s):14 December 2018) [CF-Standard Name]; unit: kg m-2 s-1 ocean_mass_y_transport Ocean Mass Y Transport [CF-Standard Name]; unit: kg s-1 air_pressure_at_mean_sea_level Air pressure at sea level is the quantity often abbreviated as MSLP or PMSL. Air pressure is the force per unit area which would be exerted when the moving gas molecules of which the air is composed strike a theoretical surface of any orientation. "Mean sea level" means the time mean of sea surface elevation at a given location over an arbitrary period sufficient to eliminate the tidal signals.
