The Eemian interglacial (~130–116 ka) is a period characterized by a significantly warmer climate than the pre-industrial era, providing a valuable opportunity to study natural climate variability and its implications for the future. We studied the Eemian climate in Europe by applying an interactive downscaling to our Earth system model (iLOVECLIM) to increase its horizontal atmospheric resolution from 5.56° to 0.25° latitude-longitude. A transient simulation was conducted for both the standard version of the model and with an interactive downscaling applied for the Eemian (127–116 ka). Our simulations suggest that the magnitude of temperature and precipitation varied across different regions of Europe, with some areas experiencing more pronounced warming and precipitation changes than others. The latitudinal pattern in our simulation during the Eemian shows that the warming in Europe was stronger at high latitudes than at mid-latitudes. Relative to the pre-industrial climate, our downscaling scheme simulates at 127 ka higher temperatures between 3–4 °C in the northern part of Europe and higher precipitation values between 150–300 mm/yr. Our results indicate that, in comparison to the standard model, the downscaled simulations offer spatial variability that is more in line with proxy-based reconstructions and other climate models.
