01 Aug 2018  Initial release of CMIP6

CMIP6 data is available for download and analysis under a two-week trial period.

The ESGF portal to CMIP6 model output is open from 01 Aug 2018, currently under a trial period. Contributions from modelling centers is expected to continue throughout the second half of 2018 and into 2019.

NCI has established high-capacity links with other ESGF primary nodes in the US, UK and Europe. This means we are well placed to serve as a primary data service node, hosting authoritative copies of high use replica data. For researchers with access to NCI, a large collection of data will be available with thorough version control and data management as stipulated by the standard procedures set out by the ESGF. Additionally, for Australia and Oceania researchers without access to the NCI facilities, data will be available for download from a Tier 1 source that is much closer than was previously possible. Current replica download variables and data request information can be found here.
