OCMIP comparison results


As part of intercomparison project OCMIP (Ocean Carbon-Cycle Model Intercomparison Project), we compare a number of variables output from 13 models to data-based seasonal climatologies or annual means.

Compared models are listed here.

The following variables are compared:

List of compared models:

Actually, there are 15 compared models since we have two different versions of models IPSL and PRINCE.
Depending on compared variable, output of all or some of the following models is used for comparison.

Each OCMIP model has a specific letter code and color, wich is used when representing it on a Taylor diagram.
