Outline for Distributions paper

1. Introduction

   1. Importance to assess the skill of models. Taylor diagrams
   2. Importance of variability on different scales in marine ecosystems.
   3. Earlier work. Time of emergence. Length of time series to detect trends
   4. Our approach
   5. Brief introduction of the paper

2. Methods

   1. In-situ data
   2. Description of OC-CCI and SST-CCI
   3. Description of Darwin runs
   4. Statistical analysis
   5. Dominating timescales of variability
   6. Relative importance of rare events

3. Results

   1. Global distributions of in-situ, satellite, and model Chl and SST
   2. Global distributions of matchups between in-situ, satellite, and model Chl and SST
   3. Monthly distributions in different ecoregions. Sat vs Model
   4. Compare parts of the distributions (e.g. scatter of 5% and 95% percentiles from different regions and/or months) Analysis not done yet.
   5. Systematic maps of differences between Sat and model. E.g. global maps of Sat_5% - Mod_5% in each Longhurst region, continue with 33%, 50%, 67%, 95%. Split up for months or seasons?
   6. Relate dominating timescales to distributions of Chl and SST in different regions.
   7. Compare frequency and importance of rare events between sat and Darwin.

4. Discussion

   1. Overarching patterns
   2. Regions that have similar patterns.
   3. Physical drivers.
   4. Regions of specific concern - Coasts, upwelling regions, high-latitude,
   5. Dominating timescales and rare events.
