Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP)
CMIP, the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, is the analog of AMIP for global coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation models. CMIP
began in 1995 under the auspices of the
Working Group on Coupled Modelling (WGCM),
-- which is in turn under auspices of CLIVAR and the Joint Scientific Committee for the
World Climate Research
Programme. The PCMDI supports CMIP by helping WGCM to determine the scope of the project, by maintaining the project's data base, and by participating in data analysis. CMIP has received model output from the pre-industrial climate simulations ("control runs") and 1% per year increasing-CO2 simulations of about 30 coupled GCMs. More recent phases of the project (20C3M, ...) include more realistic scenarios of climate forcing.
CMIP Phase 3
(CMIP3) and the IPCC AR4.
CMIP3 output from coupled ocean-atmosphere model simulations of 20th - 22nd century climate is being collected by the PCMDI
in support of research relied on by the 4th Assessment Report
(AR4) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
