Validation of GCM experiments: Sea level pressure NCEP (observed) (1950-2000) HADCM3 (1950-2000) Campos medios anuales
Climate model validation: sea level pressure The models that best represent the mean sea level pressure and its seasonal variability are: HADCM3 CSIRO-Mk2 ECHAM4 GFDL-R30

GCMs, only driven by GHGs and aerosol concentration trends, show the same trend as the observed SLP field
