Abstract

Lessons learned from 25 years of PMIP model-data distribution

Highlights

HAL is a multi-disciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research documents, whether they are published or not
Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project (PMIP) has been successful in terms of participation, publications, and contributions to successive IPCC Working Group 1 reports, and is in its fourth phase, with 20 modeling groups/models from 14 countries (Kageyama et al 2018; Kageyama et al 2016 [PMIP4 special issue])
For PMIP4, experimental protocols were co-designed by the modeling and data communities (Kageyama et al 2018). They require that the same model version be used for PMIP4-CMIP6 experiments and future climate projections so that rigorous analyses of climate processes, including both physical and biogeochemical interactions, can be performed across the range of past and future climate

Summary

Introduction

HAL is a multi-disciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research documents, whether they are published or not. This can be done by sharing data directly between individuals, but is more efficient when formally organized as a MIP (Model Intercomparison Project), where all contributors and users adopt the same standards. The Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project (PMIP), started in 1990 (Joussaume and Taylor 1995), was one of the early MIPs, following the AMIP example (Gates et al 1998).
