Remarks on NCAR-PCM runs

Please note the control run is for present-day conditions from a separate spin-up and should not be used to make differences from any of the climate change runs with the PCM.

Any differences computed for future climate should use the 1960-99 PCM data (Historic Run) as a base period for the differences.

However, the control is certainly OK to use for looking at internal variability, etc.
