PCMDI

PCMDI's mission demands that we work on scientific projects and infrastructural tasks. Our current scientific projects focus on developing ESM performance metrics, identifying robust Cloud Feedbacks in observations and models, devising robust statistical methods for climate change Detection and Attribution, and understanding ESM errors through a model parameterization testbed. Examples of ongoing infrastructure tasks include: 1) the development of software and data standards for model intercomparison project (MIP) data management, data creation, and computation; 2) the assembly/organization of observational data sets for model validation obs4MIPs; 3) the assembly and curation of forcing data sets for ESMs input4MIPs; and 4) the consistent documentation of climate model features across the numerous eras of the Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP) and Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) phases. PCMDI is also incorporating the PCMDI metrics Package (PMP) into the..
