Orbital control on late Miocene climate and the North African monsoon: insight from an ensemble of sub-precessional simulations

Orbital forcing is a key climate driver over multi-millennial timescales. In particular, monsoon systems are thought to be driven by orbital cyclicity, especially by precession. Here, we analyse the impact of orbital forcing on global climate with a particular focus on the North African monsoon, by...
