LTMIP is a community-driven, completely unfunded series of model intercomparison experiments to examine the long-term
uptake of anthropogenic carbon emissions. Use the links shown in red for a description of the experimental design or
to obtain results. Please read everything on this page before deciding to participate or use any results.
Experiments
Many experiments are proposed but not all need to be done by all participants. The minimum requirement is a model that
tracks ocean carbon. The output specified is meant to be a guide to the minimum amount considered useful. More complete
output would be desirable. The idea is to have guided but flexible requirements to encourage wide participation. Preferred
file format for multidimensional data is netcdf. For one dimensional data, such as atmospheric CO2
with time, text files would be acceptable. A brief paragraph describing a participating model is also requested.
Results
While the greatest care has been taken in producing the results, there can be no guarantee that the results are without
errors. A considerable amount of effort has gone into creating the models and generating the results of these experiments and
some acknowlegment of the original participants would be appreciated. It is hoped all output will be made freely available at
all times.
