46-level CAM
Level location L30, L46, L70
This plot shows the 46 levels relative to CAM levels (L30) and to WACCM levels (L70)
Case description
- 30L cam = 30L_cam5301_FAMIP
- 30L_cam + same GWs as in the 46L model: 30L_cam5301_B03F2_taper2_D05_FAMIP
- 46L cam (with GWs): 46L_cam5301_B03F2_taper2_D05_FAMIP
AMWG diagnostics

| 46L_cam5301_B03F2_taper2_D05_FAMIP | 46L AMIP run + GW wave |
Climate variability diagnostics
The climate variability diagnostics for 6 ensemble members at L30 and L46 can be found at:

In particular, it is interesting to look at the DJF response to El Nino and to the DJF NAM response.
Sudden Straspheric Warmings (SSW)
The biggest improvement comes from the analysis of SSWs as in the plot of the NAM composite for various events.
Quasi Biennal Oscillation (QBO)
This plot shows the improvement in tropical zonal winds (i.e the QBO) for the L46 model
