OFAM3 graphics archive

These images are provided to convey a notion of the strengths and weaknesses of OFAM3, which we are still assessing ourselves. To view the animations you might need a fli movie player.

Some plots show the temperature anomaly, rather than the absolute temperature. This is defined here as the difference from the CARS2009 climatological value for the day.
