Left panels are the time-series forcing, also used to derive priors for the total effect calulations (Supplementary Table 1), showing the assumed timing of (a) seaway land-sea mask changes, (b) sea-level48 (MMCO Mid-Miocene Climate Optimum, LOW Late Oligocene Warming), (c) orogeny scaling (PD present day), (d) atmospheric CO247,48 and (e) orbital forcing56 (e eccentricity, ω longitude of the perihelion at the vernal equinox). Right-hand panels show the (f) 5 Ma to present, (g) 15–5 Ma, and (h) 30–15 Ma land-sea masks used in the study, (i) the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) ice sheets74 and (j) the modern orogeny.
