APE Atlas

Summary

An electronic Atlas is being created to document the APE model intercomparison.

The Atlas includes a description of the experimental design, details of participating groups and models, and many figures showing standard and derived diagnostics for the various SST experiments.

Because of its size, the Atlas is available only as an electronic document, currently comprising a number of PDFs.

Draft version 12, created 1 August 2011 by David L. Williamson.

• Chapters 1-4 - Introduction and Control experiment
  
• Chapter 5     - Response to SST profile (peaked, control, qobs, flat)
  
• Chapters 6-8 - Asymmetric SST profile (control5n) & tropical SST anomalies (1keq, 3keq, 3kw1)
  

The APE Atlas will be published as an NCAR Technical Note.
