Most of the papers in the CMIP6 Experimental Design and Organization special issue of Geoscientific Model Development (GMD) have now been finalized, with a few still waiting on final submission confirmation. Papers included in this special issue are listed below and can be accessed on the GMD website. This special issue is a fantastic achievement by the CMIP6 Community and shows the extent of the project's capabilities.
