Our team has explored this question by looking at the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), the period about 21,000 years ago when ice sheets reached their maximum extent. Paleoclimate proxies and model simulations suggest that the Indian Ocean experienced similar changes in background conditions as predicted for the future, albeit under a cooler mean state. In this seminar I will show how these changes can favor the emergence of an El Niño-like mode of climate variability. I will also present new paleoclimatic evidence supporting a dramatic increase in climate variability in the eastern Indian Ocean consistent with the proposed El Niño mode. To conclude I will discuss a potential activation of this mode under continued greenhouse warming.
