I'm looking for global rasters/geotiffs/netcDFs for monthly precipitation, temperature and NPP for the Late Miocene. Is there a database, similar to WorldClim or PaleoClim, for Miocene climates?
I don't think any such gridded data is available publicly.
You may need to model such data. The paleoclimatic parameters were obtained by applying the Coexistence Approach (CoA) to two Chinese sites. See the attached paper for more detail.

I am also interested in reconstructing the Late Miocene (~8-5 Ma) climate for which I am using, Siwalik micro mammals, fossil tooth enamel as well as pedogenic nodunes.
