One of the consequences is that if you
run multiple computer

model average ends up looking like it doesn't have a strong ENSO impact even though the individual
model runs do.

The second and more interesting (to me) observation is that the simulated temperature changes are punctuated by multiple short term peaks and dips, differing from one

climate variables mentioned above were omitted from the
simulations — there were no changes in
