Figure 3 requires intermediary files created from Large Ensemble simulations output. These scripts are all in ncl. For each script, change name and location of source data directory and output directory then > ncl script.ncl Scripts must be run for both 20th century and RCP8.5 LENS simulations. The necessary files use the following scripts: 1. create statistics for hi, hs, Tsfc, fcondtop_ai: netCDF_aice_stats.LE.ts_bymonth.ncl will need to change variable name for each of these four variables (hi, hs, Tsfc, and fcondtop_ai) Edit file directories, etc and run f03.cont_ndiff.ncl
