If CMIP is truly taking a more service oriented role, what additional model outputs are being considered to serve the societal needs? Are modelling groups actively thinking about this?
@Christian_Jakob yes CMIP has been having various drop in sessions open to anyone (MIP developers, modelling centres, CMIP data users etc) and a few were focused on variables. There was quite a bit of discussion in those on needs of various stakeholders / users. We also have people from existing climate services as members of our task teams and VIACS as an ex-officio on the CMIP panel. I’m sure more can be done so very open to ideas and suggestions.
@AndyHoggANU Most fast track experiments will launch off the DECK experiments (PIcontrol, historical etc) so I expect this won’t be too much of an issue but definitely something to think thru in terms of timing and protocols
Thanks Julie. That sounds good. It’s tricky to get a good snapshot from the impacts community on what would make the biggest difference. I think the VIACS and climate services routes are a great way to start. Good luck!
