27 Conclusions Large observational uncertainties, especially in the surface heat fluxes need to be addressed by the observational community When evaluating model results, we need to account for these uncertainties Systematic model biases (cold sea surface, weak winds) do not transfer to the surface fluxes, because of compensation of effects Except for mean value shifts, the largest differences are found between the old versions of the model and IPSL-CM5B
