PMIP4 Groups and Experiments
PMIP4 experiments summary
CMIP6 entry card
Reminder: the DECK experiments (Diagnosis, Evaluation, and Characterization of Klima Experiments) are the entry card for CMIP, and the DECK and historical experiments are the entry card for CMIP6. The list below is only meant as shortcut to help PMIP4 users locate basic CMIP6 information
