These are non-exclusive grouping of CMIP variables (e.g. monthly time slices of the baseline variables). Variables can belong to more than one group.

| justification | These variables constitute the highest priority variables needed for the baseline assessment of DCPP hindcasts. The variables largely focus on single level, monthly-mean fields, with a few higher frequency single-level fields. This request reflects the large number of simulated years needed to fulfill the core DCPP-A hindcasts set, and so DCPP_Essential is a balance between science needs and the disk space required to store all hindcast years. |
