CMIP5/IPCC AR5 data

C2SM coordinates the retrieval of CMIP5/IPCC AR5 data for the use within the C2SM community.

Anyone within the C2SM community and the Swiss climate research community is invited to coordinate data usage. In addition, authors of the upcoming IPCC AR5 report are also welcome.

Due to the large amount of data, we will not be able to retrieve everything.
