Sustainability of regional Antarctic ice sheets under late Eocene seasonal atmospheric conditions by D. H. A. Vermeulen, M. L. J. Baatsen, A. S. von der Heydt

“…The climatic conditions prevailing during (and leading up to) the EOT can be characterised as extremely seasonal and monsoon-like, featuring a short yet intense summer period and contrasting cold winters. A narrow convergence zone with moist convection around the region with high sub-cloud equivalent potential temperature exhibits a ring-like structure, advecting moist surface air from the Southern Ocean in both summer and winter. …”
