Model version I (left) vs. Model version II (right)

Presenting annual means (from monthly climatological means) from simulations with the following casenames:

ModI = NHIST_f19_tn14_20190710
ModII = NFHISTnorpddmsbcsdyn_f09_mg17_20191101 (PD) and piNFHISTnorpddmsbcsdyn_f09_mg17_20191120 (PI)


MG2, CLM5, Eul gas deposition scheme, and both using CMIP6 emissions and PD oxidants for PI.

Both ModI and ModII are from the featureCESM2.1.0-OsloDevelopment version.
ModI is a fully coupled historical simulation with 2 degrees atm. horizontal resolution.
ModII is a historical simulation with fSST and UVPS nudging, with 1 degrees atm. horizontal resolution.


ModI PD: NorESM2-LM, 1850-2014 emissions, 160 years spin-up, showing year 2010 (2 deg. resolution)

ModI PI: as PD.

ModII PD: NorESM2-MM, 2005-2014 emissions, 4 years spin-up, showing year 2010 (1 deg. resolution)

ModII PI: as PD, but with 1850 aerosol emissions.
