Abstract

The Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) involves study and intercomparison of multimodel simulations of present and future climate. The simulations of the future idealized forcing in which CO2 increases is compounded 1% yr-1 until it doubles with global coupled models that contain, typically, components representing atmosphere, ocea, sea, ice, and land surface. Results from CMIP diagnostic sub-projects were presented at the Second CMIP Workshop held at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg, Germany, in September 2003.
