Introduction

This site now provides access to results from experiments that were part of the contribution of EMICs to the 5th Assessment Report of IPCC Working Group 1 (Chapter 12). Every effort was made to coordinate experiments with other intercomparison projects, such as CMIP5 and PMIP3. Please see the Experiments page for a complete description of the experimental design and the Forcing page for boundary conditions. A pdf of the original call for participation circular is available from the Documents page.

Results

Links to papers which provide a synthesis of some of the key results from this project can also be found on the Documents page. The data from this project is now freely available. ASCII data files, which contain model results, can be downloaded from the Results page and figures which display these results can be found on the Figures page.

If you publish articles that use the results from this project, please acknowledge the "EMIC AR5 contributors" and reference one or both of the following papers:
