present-day insolation to the insolation of 115 000 years ago (115 kya). Section 3 then analyzes in detail the Arctic heat budget with its multitude of positive and negative feedbacks, and section 4 analyzes the reorganization of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC). Section 5 concludes the study with a summary and implications for future model development. The two main goals of the present work are to demonstrate that the 115-kya orbital changes produce a realistic increase in

Levis 2006 ) and CLM3.5DGVM (Fig. 13 in Oleson et al. 2008 ). Validation against an observational dataset is performed using the MODIS-derived distribution prescribed in the CLM4SP and CLM4CN [ Fig. 3 ; also refer to Figs. 2 and 3 in Lawrence and Chase (2007) ]. Lawrence and Chase document how they generated the MODIS-based percentage PFT coverage. Satellite PFT data do not reliably distinguish understory PFTs, such as grasses and shrubs in tundra, steppe, savanna, grassland, and agricultural
