Atmospheric general circulation models of the Jurassic

An atmospheric general circulation model (GCM) is used to simulate the climate of the Jurassic. It is found that the model gives first order agreement with geological data but that closer comparison is limited by uncertainties in the model and in the imposed boundary conditions. The model results su...
