 EXP3 is the same of EXP1 plus the introduction of the AP.[[BR]]
 EXP4 is EXP2 plus the introduction of the AP forcing.[[BR]]
-All the experiments start from SeaDataNet climatology on January 2004 and run until December 2007.

 == Results and Discussion ==
 The differences of the mean SSH (averaged over the entire simulated period) between EXP1 and EXP3 is shown in the upper panel of the figure below, the analogous for the difference between EXP2 and EXP4 is shown in the bottom panel (units are m).
-Introducing the Atmospheric pressure forcing, a large scale zonal gradient is observed in both the cases (filtered and time splitting algorithms). This large scale pattern is the oceanic counterpart of the climatological (over the 4 simulated years) atmospheric pressure field used to force the model.

 The differences of the SSH Standard Deviation between the experiments is shown in the figure below. In both the cases (filtered or time-splitting) the introduction of the AP forcing increases the standard deviation (variability) of the SSH during the simulated period (differences are, in general, negative). As a consequence of the additional forcing introduced, the basin has a large scale oscillation increasing the SSH variability. However, the larger variability (temporal/spatial) is smoothed (“filtered”) in the filtered free-surface case as evident from the smaller values in the upper panel of the figure below. This different behavior is particularly evident in the shallow areas. [[BR]]
