Established by World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), the Task Teams will support the design, scope, and definition of the next phase of CMIP and evolution of CMIP infrastructure and future operationalization.
The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) Earth System Modelling and Observations (ESMO) project, through its Working Group on Coupled Models’ (WGCM) CMIP panel and WGCM infrastructure panel (WIP), has established a number of Task Teams to contribute to the future direction of CMIP, each composed by a diverse and multidisciplinary team of 8-12 experts in the specific field of the task.
The currently active task teams are:
