Fig. 9: Internal atmospheric variability plays an important role in the inter-model differences in the PAMIP project.

Normalized NAO (red circles) and Siberian High (SH; blue circles) responses computed for the PAMIP and those using the very large-ensemble climate simulations. Normalization is computed against the interannual variability of the NAO and SH in individual models. The ensemble size for each PAMIP model is given. Sub-sampled response of the (red) NAO and (blue) SH with 10,000 repetitions is displayed for both N144 and N216. Blue text at the top shows the ratio of sub-sampled spread to the inter-model spread in the PAMIP for an ensemble size of 100 and of 300, respectively, for upper and lower bound estimates.
