Early Eocene HyperthermalsPaleocene-Eocene
Thermal Maximum
• ~3-50C rise in temperature
• Negative carbon isotope excursion of 2.5-6‰
Eocene Thermal Maximum-2
• Smaller rise in temperature compared to the PETM set on a warming trend
• Carbon isotopic excursion about half of the PETM

Theoretical Model Warming results in increased lower tropospheric
water vapor Scales according to the Clausius-Clayperon
relationship
In the extra-tropics, the important components of the hydrological cycle that affect isotopic signals are horizontal poleward flow of moisture and changes in precipitation and evaporation
Simple models have been developed by scaling with the Clausius-Clayperon relation
