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 are fundamental to the earth's energy budget and hydrologic change, and due to new numerical schemes and vertical discretizations, it is important to calculate them consistently with the model formulation and equation of state. Also, observations occur at hydrostatic pressure levels and then are vertically-integrated and mapped, so this formulation allows for direct comparison to observations. |
