D1.1 : Changes in interannual to decadal variability between the different periods from proxy data.

D1.2 : Changes in mean state and centennial variability between the different periods from proxy data.

D1.3 : ENSO variability in climate simulations from CMIP5 multi‐model simulations of pre‐ industrial, 1%CO2, 6k and 21 k and from the additional simulations with the IPSL model for 4k, 9.5k and 32k.

D2.1 : A set of biogeochemical proxy and simulations to investigate the relationship between the different proxy records and climate variables.

D2.2 : The characterisation of the changes in the mean climate state, climate seasonality and interannual variability in the east pacific, the west Pacific and the Indian ocean .

D2.3 : The characterization of the changes in the Indo‐Pacific teleconnection depending on the background climate state.

D.3.1 : Data plots of vegetation cover, hydrological indices, and integrated variability indices in the tropics.

D.3.2 : Maps of differences between observed and simulated modern climate and identification of major model biases.

D.3.3 : Suite of climate indices synthetising model results over Africa, India and South America (amount of precipitation, length of the rainy season, interannual variability of precipitation).

D.3.4 : Conjunction of data plots and model maps for the Afro‐Asian regions and South America showing changes in the mean state and climate variability.

D4.1 : Synthesis maps and mechanisms explaining the differences between the different periods (with uncertainties).

D4.2 : Set of metrics to assess model projections based on past data.
