Extended Data Fig. 4: Paleogeographic changes used in the sensitivity experiments.

From: Neogene South Asian monsoon rainfall and wind histories diverged due to topographic effects

Extended Data Fig. 4

Paleogeography surrounding the Indian Ocean in a) the late Miocene (LM) and e) the early Miocene (EM) simulations. Change in paleogeography between sensitivity experiments and the reference simulation (LM and EM); b) LM-NoAIO (change in Anatolia-Iran orogen (AIO) topography); c) LM-NoEAP (Change in Arabian Peninsula (EAP) land extension) d) LM-NoEAHR (Change in East African Highland (EAH) topography on LM configuration); f) EM-EAH (Change in East African Highland topography on EM configuration); g) EM-HTP (Change in Himalaya and Tibetan Plateau (HTP) topography) and g) EM-Him (Higher than present-day Himalaya). Contours are drawn every 250 meters for EM and LM simulations and every 500 meters for each sensitivity experiment.
