Ocean Sciences in the Sixth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6)


Session ID#: 11226

Session Description:
Coupled climate and earth system model intercomparison is critical to advance understanding of ocean and climate processes, past variability and future change.  While past CMIP phases focused on a common suite of experiments, the sixth phase will include a broad suite of experiments supporting ocean sciences including not only the standard suite, but new MIPs on ocean physics and biogeochemistry, carbon cycle sensitivity, flux anomaly forcing, future scenarios and others. This town hall will overview CMIP6 status and plans, highlight opportunities for ocean science community engagement, and solicit feedback on experimental and diagnostics priorities for ocean science.
