Significant (3 to 5 °C) sea surface cooling from 7.5 to 5.5 Ma is recorded by proxies at mid to high latitudes, yet the magnitude of tropical cooling and the role of atmospheric carbon dioxide (pCO2) in driving this trend are debated. Here, we present a new orbital-resolution sea surface temperature (SST) record spanning the late Miocene to earliest Pliocene (9 to 5 Ma) from the eastern equatorial Indian Ocean (International Ocean Discovery Program Site U1443) based on Mg/Ca ratios measured in tests of the planktic foraminifer Trilobatus trilobus. To test if an atmospheric pCO2 decrease may have driven this cooling, we also present new paleoclimate model simulations under three atmospheric pCO2 scenarios (300 ppm, 420 ppm and 560 ppm; in the range suggested by existing pCO2 proxy records).
The climatic simulation presents the effect of late Miocene pCO2 on Sea surfaces Temperatures. This dataset contains sea surface temperature outputs from modeling experiments with variable CO2 levels and a late Miocene paleogeography (Sarr et al., in review). The simulations have been run using the IPSL-CM5A2 General Circulation Model (Sepulchre et al. 2020 - GMD). It includes 3 simulations at 300, 420 and 560 ppm respectively. Data are monthly averages over the last 100 years of the simulations.
