Differences in average 3D temperature (top), density (middle) and rms vertical velocity (bottom) structure as a function of Rosseland optical depth for our best solar model (M3DIS), STAGGER, CO⁵BOLD and MARCS. We include the MARCS models, because they are among the most widely-used 1D hydrostatic model atmospheres for FGKM type stars analyses. The average M3DIS structure and the grey shading correspond to mean and standard deviation between 9 different snapshots of the high resolution model, respectively. For CO⁵ BOLD, the mean of 20 different snapshots was used. We also include the standard deviation between these snapshots in red as a reference.
