“…However, in CMIP3 models only the vertical velocity was included and there is a scarcity in studies of upwelling based on the upward ocean mass transport variable and its relationship with other climateocean variables related to coastal upwelling. Although a recent study by Xu et al (2014) in the Southeast Atlantic Ocean incorporated the analysis of the upward ocean mass transport, this was focused in sea-surface temperature biases rather than exploring upwelling.…”

“…Phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) models demonstrate only a slight improvement in the mean from CMIP3 [ Fig. 2a; see also Richter et al (2014b) and Zhang et al (2015)], revealing the stubbornness of the biases, although some individual models are more successful (Fig. 2b;Richter et al 2014b Another interhemispheric asymmetry with which models have difficulty is subtropical stratocumulus clouds.…”

The planetary stratocumulus decks are not symmetric about the equator, but rather about the ITCZ located at approximately 10°N.…”

“…A1). The analyses by Rowell (2013) for the global tropics and by LaRow et al (2014) and Xu et al (2014) for tropical subregions suggest that the SST biases in CanESM2 are comparable to other CMIP5 models. To further diagnose the effect of model dynamics on the precipitation bias, we evaluated the low-level circulation and humidity, which play an important role in the moisture transport between ocean and land (Nicholson and Grist, 2003).…”
