Data produced at other modelling centres around the globe will be replicated locally at NCI. Due to the large volumes expected for CMIP6 (estimates have put it at ~20PB), not all the data will be able to be replicated. Due to volume restrictions and download speed capabilities, a set of priority variables will be included in the "priority" download list, and any additional datasets will need to be requested for download through NCI (see below). The steps in which NCI will undertake a bulk download of priority variables and experiment for replication of the CMIP6 data is outlined below:
