Welcome to Data Request’s documentation!#
Warning
This documentation is a preliminary tech demo.
Do not mistake it for the current, official CMIP Data Request.
The data request describes the data that is produced in a coordinated project of climate models, where several modeling groups agree to perform the same numerical experiments and share the produced results in a common format for easy inter-comparison and to facilitate further analysis and use.
Who should read this documentation?#
The data request can be useful for different audiences.
If you are a user who wants to know details about the data available for analysis, start at Analyst’s Guide to the Data Request.
If you are a modeler participating in a project that uses the data request to define its output, start at Modeler’s Guide to the Data Request.
If you are part of the definition process of the project output, start at Definer’s Guide to the Data Request.
