- Experiment 1 - A mini ice-age in the THC model (Run ID : 5n2h)
- Experiment 2 - South American icebergs in a Sulphur model (Run ID : 45ro)
Experiment 1 - THC:5n2h
![]()
In this model submitted by Chris Randles, the THC has been suppressed, leading to much colder temperatures across Europe. Winter temperatures in similar models have plunged as low as -32°C in the UK and ice is forming across the North Atlantic. Even in the middle of summer, average temperatures in the UK don't rise above 5°C.
This model also shows another common anomaly - a cold equatorial region off the coast of Ecuador caused by a rise in global cloud cover but a decrease in precipitation. Some models have even formed sea ice in this region. Occasionally cold areas like this have also been seen to form off Africa and Sulawesi.

Experiment 2 - Sulphur:45ro

In this model from my own machine, the Sulphur Cycle is modelled as well as CO2. This model gets cold, just like the THC model above, but the effects are on a more global scale, with ice in the south extending as far north as South America.
