Data for manuscript: CESM global climate model simulations 
of the Cenomanian, early Eocene, and middle Miocene

***************************************************************************

*****************
Research overview
*****************
-This study uses earth system model (iCESM1.2) to simulate the climate for
 the Cenomanian (95Ma) early Eocene (55Ma), middle Miocene(15Ma), and Preindustrail era.
 The manuscript presents a comprehensive analysis of the combined impact of the Andean
 uplift, paleo-CO2, and paleogeography on the South American and African  hydroclimate 
 system. 
-The study was conducted by R. P. Acosta, JB. Ladant J. Zhu, and C. Poulsen at
 University of Michigan and used the NCAR Cheyenne computing resources.
-NSF grant (EAR-1550134) and school of LSA funded this project.

*****************
Methods
*****************
The NCAR Cheyenne computing resources was used to generate the data. 
The data was then post processed using nco (http://nco.sourceforge.net/)
and ncl (https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/).
