LTMIP


Long-Term (or Long Tail) Model Intercomparison Project

Results

Models that participated in this intercomparison are:

CLIMBER, GENIE-8, GENIE-16, GEOCYC, HAMOCC, LTCM, MESMO, MPI-UV and UVic2.8

See the Experiments page or this article for a description of the experiments and models (reprint available on request). Click on Files to access and download the model data files. The resulting Files directory contains subdirectories for each model from which you can download individual files. The files directory also contains compressed tar file versions of the equivalent model data directory, which can be used to download an entire model data directory. Uncompress these tar files with: tar -xzvf "file".tar.gz. Individual model data files are usually in plain text, csv text or netcdf formats but some may be fortran binary files. Many model directories contain a short model and data format description.
