Abstract

Ensemble simulations (taking into account uncertainty of paleoclimate reconstructions) with a models for ice sheets dynamics for the last glacial cycle (last 128 kyr) are carried out. The model realistically reproduces spatial structure of major ice sheets and heights of their domes in the Northern hemisphere as well as the associated changes in global sea level. Perturbations with a sufficiently large amplitude applied to the initial paleoreconstruction result in marked differences of the modelling, in particular, durimg the Last Glacial maximu and during 58–51 kyr before present (the initial part of MIS3). According to our simualtions, the uncertainty of temperature reconstructions durng the last galcial cycle is limited to 2°C in agreement with existing estimates.
