Summary
The role and application of quasi-realistic climate models in paleoclimatic studies is reviewed. Conceptual aspects of modelling, such as the validation of positive analogs and the application of neutral analogs, are discussed. The mathematical basis of quasi-realistic models and the major modes of applications are presented. An extended ‘control run’ and a transient simulation of the Late Maunder Minimum episode (1675–1710) are used as a demonstration of the general ideas.
