QTCM - Sample figures

QTCM Sample Figures (Version 2.0)

Version 2.0 Version 2.1 Version 2.2 Version 2.3 Observations
The following figures are similar to those found in Zeng et al, 2000; the difference being they were from experiments using QTCM1 version 2.0. The Zeng et al, 2000 figures can be found by clicking Version 2.1 above. Two cloud-radiation packages were used and are denoted by clrad0 and clrad1.

Model climatological monthly mean precipitation for the perion 1982-98; using the cloud-radiation package clrad0. (a) Jan, (b) Apr, (c) Jul, (d) Oct. Contour interval 2 mm/day, shaded above 4 mm/day.	Model climatological monthly mean precipitation for the perion 1982-98; using the cloud-radiation package clrad1. (a) Jan, (b) Apr, (c) Jul, (d) Oct. Contour interval 2 mm/day, shaded above 4 mm/day.
Model-simulated Jan fluxes using cloud-radiation package clrad0 of (a) evaporation, contour interval 20 W/mm; (b) outgoing longwave radiation, contour interval 20 W/mm; (c) downward net surface energy flux, contour interval 50 W/m*m.	Model-simulated Jan fluxes using cloud-radiation package clrad0 of (a) evaporation, contour interval 20 W/mm; (b) outgoing longwave radiation, contour interval 20 W/mm; (c) downward net surface energy flux, contour interval 50 W/m*m.
Model-simulated Jan climatological winds at (a) 850, (b) 300 mb, in m/s.	Model Jul climatology: (a) air temperature averaged between 500 and 200mb, contour interval 5C; (b) surface temperature (simulated ground temperature and observed SST), contour interval 5C; (c) relative soil wetness, contour interval 0.2; (d) 850 mb winds in m/s.
Model-simulated monthly mean precipitation on the equator through the period 1982-98. Contour interval 2 mm/day.	ENSO composite precipitation differences. Three warm events (1986/87, 1991/92, 1994/95) minus three cold events (1983/84, 1988/89, 1995/96). (a) Northern winter (Dec-Feb), (b) summer (Jun-Aug). Contour interval 1 mm/day.
Model-simulated zonal wind stress on the equator from 1982-98, using cloud-radiation package 0, contour interval 0.03 N/m*m.	Model-simulated zonal wind stress on the equator from 1982-98 using cloud-radiation package 1, contour interval 0.03 N/m*m.
Dec-Feb ENSO composite differences as above: (a) surface wind stress in N/m*m; (b) surface zonal wind in m/s.
