Time Evolution of the Vertical Mean Water Vapor Content in Experiment S1800
Animation 1 below illustrates the time evolution of the
vertically integrated specific humidity (kg/kg) in Experiment
S1800. An examination of the animation leads to the speculation that
water vapor originating from the surface near 30° latitude north
and south is transported to high latitudes. Unfortunately, this
animation does not clearly indicate meridional water vapor
transport. This discrepancy has not yet been fully examined, and a
more detailed analysis of the water vapor budget is necessary.

integrated specific humidity (kg/kg) in Experiment S1800. The
displayed values of precipitation distribution are those from the
period between Days 1052 and 1068.
