Extended Data Fig. 2: Simulation equilibrium and zonal mean temperature gradient.
From: Neogene South Asian monsoon rainfall and wind histories diverged due to topographic effects
a) Global ocean temperature evolution at the sea surface, in intermediate (1,000 m) and deep waters (4,000 m) for late Miocene (LM) and early Miocene (EM) simulations, and sensitivity experiments. Zonal mean SST gradient for EM (b) and LM (c) simulations compared to available proxy estimation. Bold line indicates mean annual SST, dashed line depicts minimum and maximum value for each latitude. Temperature reconstruction are from ref. 47, based on compilation by ref. 87 and additional information on the compilation can be found in ref. 47.
