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

Presenting annual means from the last 4 (5) years of the following simulations:
ModI = PDnewBCfixedSOA (2008-2012)
ModII = PDNdg6JanHygroBF (2012-2014)
Model versions are before and after this bugfix: https://github.com/metno/noresm/issues/391

ModI & PD simulation info (CAM5-Oslo revision I: 2000 emissions, 2 years spin-up, 5 years average nudged to ERA model meteorology)

ModI & PI simulation info (CAM5-Oslo revision I: 1850 emissions, 2 years spin-up, 5 years average nudged to ERA model meteorology)

ModII & PD simulation info (CAM5-Oslo revision II: 2000 emissions, 2 years spin-up, 3 years average nudged to ERA model meteorology)

ModII & PI simulation info (CAM5-Oslo revision II: 1850 emissions, 2 years spin-up, 3 years average, nudged to ERA model meteorology)
