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 LAR experiment run by the HadCM3 model. The freshwater was added to the North Atlantic basin to a larger area north of the CMIP (between latitudes 50°N and 70°N) area.
