Short summary
The performance of Earth system models should be evaluated before their application for the study of climate change. We assessed the relationship between the NAO and winter sea surface temperature (SST) of the North Atlantic (NA) simulated by 13 CMIP5 models. There are some unrealistic links between the SST and NAO-driven turbulent heat fluxes in some models, which leads to the deviation of the simulated locations of response centers of the SST to the NAO in the subpolar NA.
