CMIP7 Forcing Datasets

Forcing datasets for CMIP7 are available. As a data user, here are the three key information sources you need (a much wider range of sources can be found on the Forcings Task Team page).

Documentation and dataset availability

To find an overview of all of the available CMIP7 Forcings datasets, please visit the input4MIPs Read the Docs. This specifies the unique identifier of the datasets to use for CMIP7. The page also has links to further details for each dataset.

Discussion of dataset details

These discussions are all being captured on GitHub. Please go to these pages to read and engage in any discussions. The page has search functionality so you can find what you need. If you need, please feel free to open a new discussion, it is not an issue if it is a duplicate as the forcing task team members can always identify the duplication and close the discussion if needed.

Notifications of dataset releases

Notifications of new releases as data and accompanying documentation are made available. On each change to the controlled vocabularies repository, a new release will be made. If you ‘watch’ this repository’s releases, you will be notified every time there is a release. Each release will summarise the change from the previous release so you will never miss a data release (and will also be notified about updates to documentation and other things related to the forcings data).

How to watch a GitHub repository

On GitHub, in the top right, click on Watch, then “Custom” and select “Releases”, as in the video below.
