A Short Introduction to Climate Models - CMIP
- Details
The Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP), organized under the auspices of the World Climate Research Programme’s (WCRP) Working Group on Coupled Modelling (WGCM), includes many hundreds of climate researchers, working with modeling centres around the world - sharing, comparing and analyzing the latest outcomes of global climate models. Today we are excited to release a short movie: A Short Introduction to Climate Models - CMIP, which gives insight into the world of climate modelling, particularly WCRP's initiative CMIP. It stresses the importance of sharing, comparing and analyzing the outcomes of global climate models to deliver high quality climate information, serving as the basis for climate assessments and negotiations.
