Mid-Pliocene climate modelled using the UK Hadley Centre Model: PlioMIP Experiments 1 and 2.

The article presents a study which describe the Pliocene Model Intercomparison Project (PlioMIP) using the Hadley Centre Model both in atmosphere-ocean coupled mode and atmosphere-only mode. It states that a greater overall warming relative to the control than the atmosphere-only was predicted by the coupled model. The result of the study shows that a reduction in equatorial precipitation and south Asian monsoon was predicted by the atmospheric-only model.
