SUMMARY
1) DJF precipitation averages from R-1 and 2 do not reproduce the continental maximum at 50-65W. This is not the case for the COLA model. All three estimates have spurious orographic effects over the Andes.
2) None of these estimates reproduce the IA variablity over SESA.
3) COLA model skill concentrates over the equatorial Pacific.
4) The SESA pole of the ENSO signal over South America is poorly reproduced. The ENSO response is overestimated in the EOF variance partition in the COLA model at the expense of other IA signals.
5) SSTs anomalies in the South Atlantic (30-50W 20-30S) evoke a credible response in all analyses. Warm SSTs here are associated with a belt of 500 mb high pressure (25S) that extends through the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. This might be partly ascribed to the ENSO signal.

CONCLUSIONSCONCLUSIONS1)DJF precipitation averages from R-1 and 2 shift southward the
Eq. center of precipitation over the Northern coast and do not reproduce the continental maximum at 50-65W. This is not the case for the COLA model. All three estimates have spurious orographic effects over the Andes.
2) None of these estimates reproduce the IA variablity over SESA.) )
3) COLA model skill concentrates over the equatorial Pacific..4 )The ENSO dipole is poorly reproduced in that the SESA
pole is not apparent (except to a certain extent by the COLA model). Instead, all three estimates show an unreal maximum over the Andes. The ENSO response is overestimated in the EOF variance partition in the COLA model at the expense of other IA signals.
5) SSTs anomalies in the South Atlantic (30-50W 20-30S) evoke a credible response in all analyses. Warm SSTs here are associated with a belt of 500 mb high pressure (25S) that extends through the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
