Table 1. List of the SWING2 Models Used in This Study and Their Respective Simulationsa


GCM	Reference	Simulations

GISS modelE	Schmidt et al. [2007]	free-running or nudged by NCEP
ECHAM4	Hoffmann et al. [1998]	nudged by ECMWF
LMDZ4	Risi et al. [2010c]	free-running or nudged by ECMWF
GSM	Yoshimura et al. [2008]	nudged by NCEP
CAM2	Lee et al. [2007]	free-running
Hadley	Tindall et al. [2009]	free-running
MIROC	Kurita et al. [2011]	free-running

a"Free-running" refers to standard AMIP-style simulations [Gates, 1992] forced by observed sea surface temperatures, and whose winds are not nudged.
