What’s cold bias?
• JJA Temperature biases

Meridional structure?
• JJA Temperature biases

Moist / Dry biases
• JJA humidity biases [%difference]
-100 +100
Summary #.1
• The cold tropopause has been caused by shortcomings of the previous radiation code.
• Temperature and humidity biases were significantly reduced.
• Some tuning parameters (e.g., GWD) must be re-concerned.
How about lower resolution models?
• JJA Temperature biases
-10 +10
• JJA Temperature biases
-10 +10
Moist / Dry biases
• JJA humidity biases [%difference]
-100 +100
Cloud water distribution
• JJA cloud water [kg/kg]
0 5x10-5
Why cold & moist biases are still significant in T21L40?
• Lower vertical resolution near the tropopause (dZ=~1.5 km)
• Lower horizontal resolution; 5.6• Insufficient GWD?• Physical processes (all parameters
are tuned for T106+full physics)
