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 = CAM5.3-Oslo: 7310AMIP20002nAMIP and AMIP_PI_wPDoxi, 1 degree resolution
ModII = CAM5.3-Oslo: AMIP2deg_PD and AMIP2deg_PI, which essentially is ModI on 2 degrees resolution,
+ some small cloud tuning differences from the defaukt setup of 2 deg vs. 1 deg simulations of CAM5.3,

Both models are using
MG1.5, CLM4.5, online DMS/POM, with Moz gas deposition scheme, and both use PD oxidants for PI.

ModI and ModII use CMIP5 emissions and oxidants.

ModI PD: CAM5.3-Oslo, 2000 emissions (PD oxidants), 2 years spin-up, showing year 3-30
ModI PI: CAM5.3-Oslo, 1850 emissions (PD oxidants), 2 years spin-up, showing year 3-30
ModII PD: CAM6-Oslo, 2000 emissions (PD oxidants), 2 years spin-up, showing year 3-30
ModII PI: CAM6-Oslo, 1850 emissions (PD oxidants), 2 years spin-up, showing year 3-30
