Evaluation of Upper Tropospheric Geopotential Height Anomalies over the Tropical and Subtropical Oceans in CMIP6 Models Using GNSS Radio Occultation Observations

<p>The set-up of CESM2-CAM6 sensitivity experiments for winter season (Dec-Jan-Feb: DJF), with prognostic falling ice radiative effects on (SON) and off (NOS), is an updated two-moment stratiform cloud scheme (MG2, Gettelman &amp; Morrison, 2015) in the CESM2 atmospheric component of CAM6. CESM2-CAM6 participated in CMIP6. Both the NOS and SON simulations were configured following the same approach as the CMIP6 "historical" run spanning from 1980 to 2014.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The data are:</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>TS: skin temperature (K)</p> <p>TAUX: zonal surface wind stress</p> <p>TAUY: meridinal surface wind stress</p> <p>DTCOND: moist condensation heating rate</p> <p>QRL: long wave heating rate</p> <p>OMEGA: vertical motion</p> <p>Z3: geopotential height</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
