CMIP6 Community Survey Results

Results from the CMIP6 Community Survey.

The WCRP Working Group on Coupled Modelling (WGCM), the CMIP Panel and the WGCM Infrastructure Panel (WIP) would like to thank all those who responded to the “CMIP Community next steps survey” providing in-depth, insightful, and honest feedback that will help support the development of future phases of CMIP. Full details on the survey and the original call can be found at https://wcrp-cmip.org/cmip-phase-6-cmip6/cmip6-community-survey. 

A total of 318 responses were submitted and a first stage analysis has now been completed by the CMIP International Project Office (CMIP-IPO). The CMIP Panel and WIP are now reviewing all the available analysis to determine and design the further engagement required to delve more deeply into the key points raised and engage groups that were underrepresented in the survey respondent group. This process will guide the definition of the next phase and potential future structure and governance of CMIP.

If you missed the opportunity to contribute to the survey and have feedback on CMIP6 and how you see a future CMIP, please contact the CMIP International Project Office at cmip-ipo@esa.int with ‘CMIP feedback’ as the subject line.
