Model Parameters
Figure 1. Mean Solar Radiation at the top of the
atmosphere as a function of time of year (months shown on
X-axis) and latitude (Y-axis). Note color scale to the right
of the plot.
Figure 2. Mean Surface Temperature as a function of
time of year and latitude
(this run).
Figure 3. Mean Surface Temperature Difference as a
function of time of year and latitude. For this and the
following plots, "difference" is the value of the current
model run (this run) minus
the value of the
standard run.
Figure 4. Mean Sea Ice Thickness as a function of time
of year and latitude
(this run).
Figure 5. Mean Sea Ice Thickness Difference as a
function of time of year and latitude.
Figure 6. Mean Surface Temperature time series (top)
and difference time series (bottom) for the 80°S to 90°S
latitude band. For this and the following figures, the
red line on the top panel
shows this run; the blue
line shows the standard case results. The difference plot is
this run's results minus the standard run's results. The
X-axis ("Year Day") is the number of days from the start of
the first plot year. The last plotyears years of the
model run are shown. (plotyears is a model input
parameter; the default value is two years.)
Figure 7. Average Surface Temperature time series
(top) and difference time series (bottom) for the 80°N to
90°N latitude band.
Figure 8. Mean Surface Temperature time series (top)
and difference time series plot (bottom) for the 60°S to 70°S
latitude band. For this and following figures, the
temperatures shown are areal-weighted averages of the surface
temperatures over land and the surface temperatures over
ocean.

(top) and difference plot (bottom) for the 60°N to 70°N
latitude band
Figure 10. Mean Surface Temperature time series (top)
and difference time series plot (bottom) for the equator to
10°N latitude band.
Figure 11. Mean Sea Ice Thickness time series (top)
and difference time series plot (bottom) for various southern
hemisphere latitude bands.
Blue,
cyan,
green, and
magenta lines represent the
10° latitude bands centered on
75°S,
65°S,
55°S, and
45°S, respectively. Latitude
bands with no sea ice are not plotted. Solid lines are for
this run, dashed lines represent the standard case results.
The difference plot is this run's results minus the standard
case run's results.
Figure 12. Mean Sea Ice Thickness time series (top)
and difference time series plot (bottom) for various northern
hemisphere latitude bands.
Blue,
cyan,
green, and
magenta lines represent the
10° latitude bands centered on
85°N,
75°N,
65°N, and
55°N, respectively; solid
lines are this run, dashed lines the standard case. Latitude
bands with no sea ice are not plotted.

last year of the model run (Y-axis) for various latitude
bands (X-axis).

this run and the
standard run for the
last plotyears years of the run.

this run.

latitude (this run -
standard run) for the
last plotyears years of the run.
