27 June @ 11:00 – 12:30 Asia/Seoul
A Townhall at the Asia Oceania Geosciences Society’s annual meeting in 2024 in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
The World Climate Research Programme’s (WCRP) Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) has coordinated international climate model experimentation, to develop a better understanding of past, present, and future climate change. Over four decades, CMIP has grown in scope and complexity, targeting climate science addressing the WCRP objectives and serving IPCC Assessments. CMIP6, the latest phase, yielded more than 25 PB of data, with contributions from 131 models, from 48 institutions, representing 26 countries.
Work has commenced on future CMIP7 planning. The project aims to meet the growing community needs, enabling climate science and providing actionable climate information to aid policymakers. To facilitate next steps, the two panels that oversee the project, the CMIP and Working Group on Coupled Modelling (WGCM) Infrastructure (WIP) Panels have established seven Task Teams to guide CMIP7 scope and design and facilitate coordinated infrastructure development. These aim to increase CMIP’s scientific and social relevance, widen participation, improve data accessibility, and reduce the carbon footprint.
We invite our growing community to attend. We will describe ongoing planning, highlight engagement, and feedback opportunities, and invite attendee feedback and participation. The town hall will be presented by members of the CMIP Panel, Fresh Eyes on CMIP group, and CMIP7 Task Teams.
