Abstract

The article presents a study that investigates the efficacy of the atmosphere ocean general circulation model (AOGCM) of the Institut Pierre Simon Laplace (IPSLCM5A) in assessing warm climate of the mid-Pliocene period in France. Researchers evaluated the atmospheric circulation using the AOGCM. They found that the model is effective because it produces detailed reports of the mid-Pliocene Warm Period (mPWP).
