Such comparisons will help establish a baseline for model sensitivity to initial and boundary data. Below are comparisons of CRU observations with HadRM3P output. HadRM3P uses ECMWF Reanalysis-15 as driving data.     February 1979 May 1979 August 1979 November 1979 TMIN: CRU TS2.10 TMIN: HadRM3P TMIN Bias: HadRM3P Minus CRU   top of page
