To do:

• Compare MIPAS and WACCM profiles
• 70-30 hPa
• Plot individual years
• Apply changes to monsoon
• Spatial deNO_y

1. NH Subpolar
   • Profile discrepancy
   • UTLS (164-68 hPa)
     • MIPAS HNO₃ PDFs
     • MIPAS HNO₃ CDFs
   • 70-30 hPa
     • MIPAS HNO₃ PDFs
     • MIPAS HNO₃ CDFs
   • Individual years
2. Monsoon HNO₃

There are substantially more profiles in WACCM compared to MIPAS. However, good days look, well, good:

Here are Jan, Feb, and March respectively:

This does not explain the big peak in hetAll.008, but I'm thinking to take, e.g., the first 15 days of March only (similar to how we were doing 0901-1015 for SH at one point).

In all cases, all the CDFs are drawn from different distributions (and it looks like indeed noHetAll is closest to the obs):

Same as above, but the distribution plots are for 70-30 hPa. After looking at this, I could probably go to ~20 hPa. Anyway, these look really good! You were right Doug, looks like this is where the magic happens.

Below are the indiviual years for February. In general, WACCM varies a lot more than the obs.

Here are the PDF plots for June-August for 0-30N, Eastern Hemisphere only:

Here are Jan, Feb, and March respectively:

And the CDFs:

Monsoon looks good, I think, and HetAll.008 certainly looks the best out of the WACCM bunch. It looks like this could be a bias issue, and I'll try shifting means tomorrow and see how the CDFs look. July 2011 is also shown below as an example of a single year:
