Abstract

Abstract:

World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) organized the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6). Tsinghua University, collaborated with several institutes in China, released the Community Integrated Earth System Model (CIESM) after many years of devoted model development. Except for the DECK and Historical experiments required by CMIP6, CIESM will also participate in six CMIP6-endorsed Model Intercomparison Projects (MIPs). Via the introduction of basic information and participation of CIESM in various MIPs, the paper will provide a brief reference for the future users of model outputs from various experiments.

Key words: Tsinghua University, Community Integrated Earth System Model (CIESM), CMIP6, Climate system model (CSM), Earth system model (ESM)
