Driven by pre-industrial forcing, the integration of FGOALS-s2 was found to have remained stable, with no obvious climate drift over 600 model years. The linear trends of sea SST and sea surface salinity (SSS) were -0.04℃ (100 yr)-1 and 0.01 psu (100 yr)-1, respectively. The simulations of oceanic temperatures, wind-driven circulation and thermohaline circulation in FGOALS-s2 were found to be comparable with observations, and have been substantially improved over previous FGOALS-s versions (1.0 and 1.1). However, significant SST biases (exceeding 3℃) were found around strong western boundary currents, in the East China Sea, the Sea of Japan and the Barents Sea. Along the eastern coasts in the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean, a warm bias (〉3℃) was mainly due to overestimation of net surface shortwave radiation and weak oceanic upwelling. The difference of SST biases in the North Atlantic and Pacific was partly due to the errors of meridional heat transport. For SSS, biases exceeding 1.5 psu were located in the Arctic Ocean and around the Gulf Stream. In the tropics, freshwater biases dominated and were mainly caused by the excess of precipitation. Regarding the vertical dimension, the maximal biases of temperature and salinity were located north of 65°N at depths of greater than 600 m, and their values exceeded 4℃ and 2 psu, respectively.展开更多

A generalized form was used to compare these estimators and predictors in the mean square error sense. Further, theoretical findings were established using mean square error matrix and scalar mean square error. Finally, a numerical example and a Monte Carlo simulation study were done to illustrate the theoretical findings. The simulation study revealed that LE and RE outperform the other estimators when weak multicollinearity exists, and RE, r-k class and r-d class estimators outperform the other estimators when moderated and high multicollinearity exist for certain values of shrinkage parameters, respectively. The predictors based on the LE and RE are always superior to the other predictors for certain values of shrinkage parameters.展开更多

In the present paper, three improved estimators of population mean have been proposed using some non-traditional measures of dispersion of auxiliary variable such as Gini’s mean difference, Downton’s method and probability weighted moments early given by Abid [1] with a special population parameter of auxiliary variable. The large sample properties that are biased and mean squared errors of the proposed estimators have been derived up to the first order of approximation. A theoretical comparison of the proposed estimators has been made with the other existing estimators of population mean using auxiliary information. The conditions under which the proposed estimators perform better than the other existing estimators of population mean have been given. A numerical study is also carried out to see the performances of the proposed and existing estimators of population mean and verify the conditions under which proposed estimators are better than other estimators. It has been shown that the proposed estimators perform better than the existing estimators as they are having lesser mean squared error.展开更多

These missing observations may be for either auxiliary variable or study variable. The biases and mean square errors of the proposed estimators have been derived, up to the first order of approximation. The proposed estimators are compared theoretically with that of the existing ratio type estimators defined by [1]. It has been found that the proposed exponential ratio type estimators perform better than the mean per unit estimator even for the low positive correlation between study variable and auxiliary variable. Moreover, we obtained the conditions for which our proposed estimators are better than the corresponding ratio type estimators of [1]. To verify the theoretical results obtained, a simulation study is carried out finally.展开更多
