This project focuses on the eocene climate, around 50                      million years ago, when the world was much warmer than at                       present.  A suite of numerical modeling simulations with a                      general circulation model will be carried out to resolve a major                disparity between paleoclimate data interpretations and previous                modeling results.  The data indicate that the interiors of                      continents enjoyed mild climate, while previous model                           simulations suggest that the interiors of continents experienced                high seasonality.  Latest version of the NCAR Community Climate                 Model, coupled to a sea-ice/oceanic mixed-layer model, will be                  used in this work.                                                                   This work is important because it will yield insights into                 the physical processes important during previous warm epochs and                could lead to further refinements of models of the climate                      system.
