• Simulation of Present-Day and Twenty-First-Century Energy Budgets of the Southern Oceans (2010, background): “mon to coupled climate models is the tendency to have a double-ITCZ structure for annual mean conditions (Lin 2007), resulting from a spurious migration of the ocean ITCZs into the SH.”
• MJO Simulation Diagnostics (2009, background): “…are the confounding issues concerning the representation of the basic state, including a preference for overdoing the ''double ITCZ'' (Lin 2007), a poor mean rainfall structure in the Indian Ocean (Sperber and Annamalai 2008), equatorial surface westerly winds that are too weak or…”
• The double ITCZ bias in CMIP5 models: interaction between SST, large-scale circulation and precipitation (2015, background): “In fact, in the CMIP3 models the precipitation patterns follow the SST patterns too closely compared to observations, especially over the southeastern tropical Pacific (Lin 2007).”
