Coupled Models Intercomparison Project

The Coupled Models Intercomparison Project (CMIP) is a collaborative effort among climate scientists to improve our understanding of climate change. It involves a series of standardized simulations using different climate models to see how they respond to various factors like greenhouse gas emissions. By comparing results from these models, researchers can assess their accuracy, understand uncertainties, and improve future projections of climate impacts. CMIP helps to inform policymakers and the public about potential climate scenarios, enhancing our ability to adapt and mitigate effects of climate change globally.
