Short summary
We introduce a new model that simulates Dansgaard–Oeschger events, dramatic and irregular climate shifts within past ice ages. The model consists of simplified equations inspired by ocean current dynamics. We fine-tune this model to capture the Dansgaard–Oeschger events with unprecedented accuracy, providing deeper insights into past climate patterns. This helps us understand and predict complex climate changes, aiding future climate change resilience efforts.
