This LOVECLIM simulation captures the observed Dansgaard-Oeschger and Heinrich variability during Marine Isotope Stage 3 on the SS09 age scale. It uses time-varying boundary conditions for orbital forcing, ice-sheet orography, greenhouse gas concentrations and an estimate of millennial-scale freshwater forcing which is designed to generate a climate response that matches one paleo SST reconstruction from the Iberian Margin (Martrat et al. 2007)
