Reconstructing long-term continental temperature change provides the required counterpart to age equivalent marine records and can reveal how terrestrial and marine temperatures were related during times of extreme climate change such as the Miocene Climatic Optimum (MCO) and the following Middle Miocene Climatic Transition (MMCT). Carbonate clumped isotope temperatures (T(Δ 47 )) from 17.5 to 14.0 Ma Central European paleosols (Molasse Basin, Switzerland) display a temperature pattern during the MCO that is similar to coeval marine temperature records. Maximum temperatures in the long-term soil T(Δ 47 ) record (at 16.5 and 14.9 Ma) lag maximum ocean bottom water temperatures, lead global ice volume, and mark the initiation of minimum global ice volume phases. The suggested onset of the MMCT, deduced by a marked and rapid decline in Molasse Basin soil temperatures is coeval with cooling reported in high-latitudinal marine records. This is best explained by a change in the seasonal timing of soil carbonate formation that was likely driven by a modification of rainfall seasonality and thus by a major reorganization of mid-latitude atmospheric circulation across Central Europe. In particular, our data suggest a strong climate coupling between the North Atlantic and Central Europe already in the middle Miocene.
