\section{Conclusions}  It is shown that round-off order changes in ICs can produce regional annual-mean climate variable trajectories differing significantly from one another, under constant forcing. Furthermore, ECQs for a particular ensemble year or ETCQs for a decade sometimes differ significantly from ensemble member TCQs.Hence, centennial-order periods may, for certain regional variables, be required to adequately characterise the variable probability distribution from a single time series, in a system with similar characteristics to the one investigated here.  Similar findings are reported by. Hence, it is suggested that ETCQ multivariate distributions together with measures of autocorrelation, be used as quantification of model climates. A more detailed discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of various climate quantifications can be found in. in \citet[ch. 6]{Tesis2015}.
