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 a wider set of variables that will be used to better understand the predictability of a wider set of variables, including ocean biogeochemistry. They will also be used to better understand the processes shaping regional climate variability and change, and to understand the sources of predictable signals in the DCPP hindcasts. Specifically, the variables requested in DCPP_Wider extend on those in DCPP_Essential by asking for more 3D information, more high-frequency data, more process oriented diagnostic, more biogeochemistry diagnostics, and diagnostics that will be used to understand the impacts of extreme events. |
