Line plots show the seasonal cycle of hemisphere averaged ice fraction, 2d pictures below are the error in the annual average ice fraction w.r.t HadCM3
Attach:ICE_Summer08.png Δ
Seasonal scatter plots of sea ice concentration (north of 70N) vs Shortwave Radiation, to assess the impact of the vastly lowered sea-ice albedo. Apart from the clear-sky TOA in summer, radiation characteristics are actually generally better than before (surface temperature profiles are hugely improved). Color key as before.
