Short summary
The arrangement of continents and oceans strongly affects climate by shaping large-scale circulation patterns. We study, how early Eocene geography (53.5 Ma) influenced mid-latitude storms and persistent high-pressure systems, focusing on the West Siberian Sea and absent Antarctic Circumpolar Current. The climate model simulation of the early Eocene, shows a more balanced hemispheric distribution, through increased northern and decreased southern mid-latitude storm activity compared to today.
