The Pliocene Model Intercomparison Project Phase 2 (PlioMIP2) is an\udinternational collaboration to simulate the climate of the mid-Pliocene\udinterglacial, corresponding to marine isotope stage KM5c (3.205 Mya), using a wide selection\udof climate models with the objective of understanding the nature of the\udwarming that is known to have occurred during the broader mid-Pliocene warm\udperiod. PlioMIP2 builds on the successes of PlioMIP by shifting the focus to\uda specific interglacial and using a revised set of geographic and orbital\udboundary conditions. In this paper, we present the details of the\udmid-Pliocene simulations that we have performed with a slightly modified\udversion of the Community Climate System Model version 4 (CCSM4) and the\ud<q>enhanced</q> variant of the PlioMIP2 boundary conditions. We discuss the\udsimulated climatology through comparisons to our control simulations and to\udproxy reconstructions of the mid-Pliocene climate. With the new\udboundary conditions, the University of Toronto version of the CCSM4 model\udsimulates a mid-Pliocene that is more than twice as warm as that with the\udboundary conditions used for PlioMIP Phase 1. The warming is more enhanced\udnear the high latitudes, which is where most of the changes to the PlioMIP2\udboundary conditions have been made. The elevated warming in the\udhigh latitudes leads to a better match between the simulated climatology and proxy-based reconstructions than possible with the previous version of the boundary\udconditions
