On the other hand I am co-plotting, down to sub-annual timescales up to 3 or even perhaps 4 well defined physical parameters relating to both the sea
surface (e.g. SST, chlorophyll a,
surface leaving radiance), the immediate subsurface (e.g. diffuse attenuation of 490 nm light to approx 50 m depth) and atmospheric
aerosol size e.g. AOT at 865 and 890 nm — all measured with modern, state of the art
surface telemetry and remote sensing methods and simply looking for mechanistic links between these parameters on sub-annual timescales.

aerosol surface air concentrations of the models, defined as the median of the model fields on a 5 ° × 5 ° grid.
