Greetings!
I recently ran a pair of F2010climo ensembles (20 years * 5 ensemble members) for two resolutions:
1-degree: --res=f09_f09_mg17
2-degree: --res=f19_g17
I computed the TOA flux as (FSNT - FLNT), averaged across time, ensemble members, and (weighted) grid cells. I expected these to yield about the same number, but found the 1-degree case had a net TOA flux of ~4 W/m^2, while the 2-degree case had ~2 W/m^2. Does anyone have ideas about why these values would be different for vanilla F2010climo runs, when just changing the resolution?
Also, I've seen various estimates of the true net TOA flux as it varies from year to year (eg, here: Radiative Energy Flux Variation from 2001–2020) Does anyone have a sense for what value a vanilla F2010climo run _should_ have for net TOA flux?
I'm trying to rule out various forms of operator (aka me :) error, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks much!
