On the effect of orbital forcing on mid-Pliocene climate, vegetation and ice sheets

We present results from modelling of the mid-Pliocene warm period (3.3–3 million years ago) using the Earth system model of intermediate complexity CLIMBER-2 analysing the effect of changes in boundary conditions as well as of orbital forcing on climate. <br><br> First we performed equil...
