Fig. 1: Spring and summer AOD and its components, temperature, relative humidity, along with corresponding snow and rainfall, averaged from 2003 to 2011, for both individual models and AEROSNOW AOD.

a–c Represent the spring, summer, and combined (spring + summer) mean aerosol components of each model, the multi-model mean, and AEROSNOW averages over the high Arctic sea ice region, respectively. Models simulating total AOD falling below and above the AEROSNOW levels are categorized as low-AOD and high-AOD models. Dotted maroon lines indicate two standard deviations, while solid lines represent the mean of AEROSNOW AOD data. The black vertical line above each AOD bar plot shows the two standard deviations of total AOD simulated by each model. Blue, red, and blue-violet dotted lines depict total precipitation, snow precipitation, and rain precipitation respectively. These dotted lines for precipitation serve as visual aids to discern changes in precipitation across models simulating from low to high AOD. d–f is the same as a–c but for aerosol-only simulations. g–i and j–l are the same as a–c but for temperature and relative humidity respectively.
