Aerosol Diagnostic Plots

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

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

ModI = NF2koptice4g288 and NFpioptice4g288
ModII = NF2kio5zmdu and NFpiio5zmdu

Both ModI and ModII are both noresm-dev
MG2, CLM5, online DMS/POM, with Eul gas deposition scheme, and both using PD oxidants for PI.

ModI & II both use CMIP6 emissions, but different tunings and choice of processes.
ModI uses cldfrc_iceopt=4 and cldfrc2m_rhmini=0.8, while
while ModII uses cldfrc_iceopt=5 and cldfrc2m_rhmini=0.9, zmoist_conv.F90 instead of zm_conv.F90,
a 20 times smaller qist_max in cldfrc2m.F90, and new optics (refractive indices) for mineral dust.
But both are otherwise as the commit 46a9911a3378995f1539d115709dae763bb4b014 from December 20. 2018.

ModI PD: CAM6-Oslo, 2000 emissions (PD oxidants), 1 years spin-up, showing years 2-4 (1 deg. resolution)
ModI PI: CAM6-Oslo, 1850 emissions (PD oxidants), 1 years spin-up, showing years 2-4 (1 deg. resolution)
ModII PD: CAM6-Oslo, 2000 emissions (PD oxidants), 2 years spin-up, showing year 3-6 (1 deg. resolution)
ModII PI: CAM6-Oslo, 1850 emissions (PD oxidants), 2 years spin-up, showing year 3-6 (1 deg. resolution)
