These coupled climate model biases have received much attention but seen little improvement.
“These biases have received much attention but seen little improvement (Davey et al., 2002;Richter and Xie, 2008;Richter et al., 2014b;Giarolla et al., 2015;Zuidema et al., 2016b).”

The conflicting results from CGCMs are easily understood because the strength of equatorial coupled variability depends entirely on the ability of the model to simulate the Bjerknes feedback and its seasonality correctly, both of which depend on the climatology of the Atlantic, which is poorly simulated by such models.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
