Jet steaks of high wind speeds can contribute to the development of surface low pressure systems. This occurs to the left of the transition from high to low speeds. In Figures 7b, e and f this exit zone of the streak is between 130 and 140 ˚W longitude, which is further east than in the reference run. The jet in the AP simulation, Figure 7f, appears to extend further east and is shifted further to the south. 3. Precipitation Comparisons Figure 8 is a comparison of precipitation and surface winds for the six simulations. In all of the simulations with warm oceans, precipitation is enhanced. This is true over the oceans as well as the land. When the Greenland ice sheet is present, Figures 8b and c, high pressure prevents precipitation from increasing and the levels are similar to the reference simulation. The west coast of the North American continent experiences the Gollmer ◀ Post-Flood Ice Age precipitation ▶ 2018 ICC 704 Figure 8. Precipitation and surface winds during January for the following six simulations: a) Reference run b) Warm oceans c) Warm oceans stratospheric aerosols d) Warm oceans stratospheric aerosols and no ice sheets e) Warm oceans with aerosols restricted between 30˚ and 60˚ N and f) Warm oceans with aerosols restricted between 45˚ and 90˚ N. Wind vectors indicate the strength and direction of the surface winds. Regions of high precipitation change based on the conditions of the simulation.
