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.
