The Pliocene Model Intercomparison Project Phase 2: large-scale climate features and climate sensitivity

Interannual climate variability seen in the Pliocene Model Intercomparison Project

Following reconstructions suggesting weakened temperature gradients along the Equator in the early Pliocene, there has been much speculation about Pliocene climate variability. A major advance for our knowledge about the later Pliocene has been the coordination of modelling efforts through the Pliocene Model Intercomparison Project (PlioMIP). Here the changes in interannual modes of sea surface...
