Comment:
The simulations were carried out with the CLIMBER-2 model, which is a global atmosphere-ocean-vegetation (AOV) model of intermediate complexity. / In contrast to AOV-IC, AOV-IC-f includes an additional freshwater forcing in the North Atlantic to simulate Heinrich events (triggered every
7.5 kyr) and Dansgaard-Oeschger events.
