The Decadal Climate Prediction Project (DCPP) contribution to CMIP6
Geosci. Model Dev., 9, 1–27, 2016
There are three Technical Notes dealing with Component C experiments. They are available here:
I. Definition of the Anomalous Sea Surface Temperature patterns
TECHNICAL NOTE 1, DECADAL CLIMATE PREDICTION PROJECT (DCPP) - Component C
II. Recommendations for ocean restoring and ensemble generation
TECHNICAL NOTE 2, DECADAL CLIMATE PREDICTION PROJECT (DCPP) - Component C
III. Guidelines for Component C Pacemaker Experiments
TECHNICAL TECHNICAL NOTE 3, DECADAL CLIMATE PREDICTION PROJECT(DCPP) - Component C
Some of the experiments in Component C of the DCPP make use of prescribed sea surface temperature (SST) patterns:
- AMV SST data
- PDV SST data
- Pacemaker SST data (coming soon)
which are available from the input4MIPs website: https://esgf-node.llnl.gov/search/input4mips/
The CMIP6 Panel is coordinating the production of forcing datasets and the output data request. See the CMIP6 webpage for these links.
Questions and comments concerning the DCPP may be conveyed via the Decadal Climate Prediction Project (DCPP) Participant Forum.
