Comparison of climatology of the OLR variances of equatorial waves between observation and simulation. Annual mean climatology (1979–2008) of the OLR variances in (W m−2)2 for Kelvin wave (Kelvin) (a, b), equatorial Rossby waves (ER) (c, d), mixed Rossby gravity waves (MRG) (e, f), and tropical depression waves (TD). The observed NOAA OLR variances are shown by (a, c, e, g), whereas the NICAM simulated OLR variances are shown by (b, d, f, h)
