Abstract
"To what extent was the Little Ice Age a result of a change in the thermohaline circulation?" project. This was a Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) RAPID Climate Change Research Programme project (Joint International Round - NE/C509507/1 - Duration 1 Aug 2005 - 31 Jul 2008) led by Dr Tim Osborn of the University of East Anglia, with co-investigators at the University of East Anglia and Royal Netherlands Meteorology Institute.
The dataset contains fresh water hosing model output from the LOC experiment run by the HadCM3 model. The freshwater was added to the North Atlantic basin to a localised area covering parts of the GIN Sea and the Barents Sea.
