Description

This report provides a summary of the first CMIP Forcings drop-in sessions held on 7 June 2023 across two timeslots (05:00 UTC and 16:00 UTC) to support equitable global participation. These sessions aimed to facilitate community discussion on the development and use of forcing datasets. Each session was chaired by one of the CMIP Panel Co-chairs, John Dunne (GFDL/NOAA) and Helene Hewitt (Met Office) and led by the Forcings Task Team co-leads, Paul Durack (PCMDI/LLNL) and Vaishali Naik (GFDL/NOAA), with input from the wider members of the task team. Participants were introduced to the task team's members and stakeholders together with the core goals they are seeking to address.  Further, feedback received in the recent Future CMIP Forcings Community Survey was outlined and how the task team is addressing issues raised here, to deliver to CMIP7 and tackle longer term scientific challenges, before opening the session for an interactive dialogue with participants.
