Figure 2:
(a) Climatological seasonal cycle of Antarctic zonal-mean temperatures (averaged over 65°S to 90°S) in 1990–2010 in the GEOS AOCCM simulations and (b) the differences between the simulations and MERRA reanalysis. (c) Climatological seasonal cycle of Antarctic circumpolar zonal-mean zonal winds (averaged over 55°S to 70°S) in the AOCCM simulations and (d) the differences between the simulations and MERRA. (e) Climatological annual-mean zonal-mean zonal winds in the Southern Hemisphere in the AOCCM simulations and (f) the differences between the simulations and MERRA.
