Figure 12 Seasonal bias in downwelling surface short wave radiation in (left) CCSM4 and (right) CAM4/AMIP. CINT=20 Wm-2, positive/negative values are shown by solid/dashed, respectively. Zero contour is not shown. The PIRATA mooring 10oW, 10oS location is marked by ‘+’. 
Figure 13 Seasonal cycle of downwelling SWR (Wm-2) at 10oW, 10oS from MODIS satellite retrievals, observed at the PIRATA mooring, and simulated by CCSM4 and CAM4/AMIP. 
Figure 14 Seasonal cycle of latent heat flux (LHTFL, Wm-2) at 10oW, 10oS from IFREMER satellite retrievals of Bentamy et al. (2008), from the PIRATA mooring, and simulated by CCSM4 and CAM4/AMIP. Observed LHTFL is calculated from the buoy data using the COARE3.0 algorithm of Fairall et al. (2003). 
Figure 15 Annual mean sea surface salinity (SSS, psu, shading) and precipitation (mm dy-1, contours). (a) SODA salinity and CMAP precipitation, (b,c) CCSM4, CCSM3 SSS and precipitation, (d) data from two independent uncoupled runs: POP/NYF SSS and CAM4/AMIP precipitation. 
Figure 16 Annual mean river runoff shown as equivalent surface freshwater flux (mm dy-1). (a) Normal year forcing of Large and Yeager (2009), (b) C 1 Coastal currents in CCSM3 are similar to CCSM4 (not shown).
