Inconsistent strategies to spin up models in CMIP5: implications for ocean biogeochemical model performance assessment

During the fifth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) substantial efforts were made to systematically assess the skill of Earth system models. One goal was to check how realistically representative marine biogeochemical tracer distributions could be reproduced by models. In rou...
