Moreover, the linear relationship that the Zhai study fits between the seasonal variability derived relationship of
low cloud reflectivity with SST and ECS is dominated by «bad» models that are inconsistent with the observational constraint.
There are also several cases where the two studies» assessment of consistency with the observations of a model's seasonal variations in
low cloud reflectivity differ radically.
