Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP)

The Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) is an international effort that brings together climate models from various research groups to improve our understanding of Earth's climate system. Researchers test and compare these models under standardized conditions, allowing them to evaluate how different factors like greenhouse gas emissions affect climate change. The results help scientists and policymakers make informed decisions about climate impacts and mitigation strategies. CMIP is essential for advancing climate research and enhancing the accuracy of predictions about future climate scenarios.
