  19. Three Sensitivity Experiments Reference = EXP1 TForced with daily fluxes of 1994 to 1999 derived from ECMWF analysis. - SST - relaxed toward the climatology of Reynolds & Smith 1994 (RS94) - SSS - relaxed toward Levitus (1994) b - Spin-up forced during 10 years with daily mean ECMWF (1994 –1996) Second = EXP2 TForced substituting ECMWF latent heat flux by daily satellite estimates during the period 1996-1998. His initial state correspond to the EXP1 state at December 31, 1995. Third = EXP3 TForced substituting the daily satellite stress wind and latent heat flux to ECMWF estimates during the period 1996-1998. His initial state is same than EXP2.
