‘Win’ refers to winter, ‘sum’ refers to summer, ‘prec. rate’ refers to precipitation rate, ‘rad. flux’ refers to radiation flux, and ‘rel. humid’ refers to relative humidity. Runs compared in each part are shown in Table 1. Incl Hancock means that the average is taken over pairs of Blair1-5 (100,000 iterations) and Hancock1-2, shown by a's in Table 1. Hancock1-2 were run with 150,000 iterations.
