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 | There is an emerging need for regional downscaling of global climate models for the ocean (physics, biogeochemistry, sea ice) to provide refined and more regional-to-local information on marine environment past and projections changes, to support ocean climate services and for climate adaptation. A set of variables are needed to force regional ocean models at their lateral boundaries, and at the air-sea interface for forced models. Omon.tos is requested here, but already covered by the variable group dynamical_downscaling_core (by Oday.tos), in case this is also stored. |
