Abstract

Climate models struggle to reproduce the amplitude of polar temperature change observed in palaeoclimatic archives. A synthesis of observational and model data was used to reconstruct atmospheric dust concentrations in the Holocene and Last Glacial Maximum. The impact of aerosols in polar areas is underestimated in simulations for dustier-than-modern conditions; the inclusion of the amplified response to aerosols at high latitudes would improve model predictions.
