                         coupled oceanatmosphere version 2.5 of the Brazilian Earth System 
                         Model (BESM), are compared with those of 25 other CMIP5 models, 
                         focusing on temperature, precipitation, atmospheric circulation, 
                         and radiative feedbacks. The climate sensitivity to quadrupling 
                         the atmospheric CO2 concentration was investigated via two 
                         methods: linear regression (Gregory et al., 2004) and radiative 
                         kernels (Soden and Held, 2006; Soden et al., 2008). Radiative 
                         kernels from both the National Center for Atmospheric Research 
                         (NCAR) and the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) were 
                         used to decompose the climate feedback responses of the CMIP5 
                         models and BESM into different processes. By applying the linear 
                         regression method for equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) 
                         estimation, we obtained a BESM value close to the ensemble mean 
                         value. This study reveals that the BESM simulations yield zonally 
                         average feedbacks, as estimated from radiative kernels, that lie 
                         within the ensemble standard deviation. Exceptions were found in 
                         the high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere and over the ocean 
                         near Antarctica, where BESM showed values for lapse rate, humidity 
                         feedback, and albedo that were marginally outside the standard 
                         deviation of the values from the CMIP5 multi-model ensemble. For 
                         those areas, BESM also featured a strong positive cloud feedback 
                         that appeared as an outlier compared with all analyzed models. 
                         However, BESM showed physically consistent changes in the 
                         temperature, precipitation, and atmospheric circulation patterns 
                         relative to the CMIP5 ensemble mean.",
