Coupled Model Intercomparison Project

The Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) is a coordinated, international effort that aims to improve the understanding of climate change and its impacts by facilitating the comparison of coupled climate models. It brings together climate models from various research institutions around the world, enabling them to work on a common set of experiments and scenarios. CMIP serves several important purposes: 1. **Standardization**: By providing a standardized framework for climate modeling, CMIP allows researchers to compare different climate models more effectively.
