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 | Some agricultural models require hourly outputs in order to understand interactions between the diurnal cycle and agricultural production and impacts. This information is important to identify more acute conditions within a given day, allowing a better representation of processes like water and temperature stresses. This information is also likely to support applications of farm labor health. |
| name | AgModelHourly |
| notes | I&A author team ask that the cross-thematic steering group be made aware that if hourly is rejected it would still be valuable to have 3hourly versions of the same variables (less good and causes more limitations but would be better than current situation). Open to negotiation for an alternative sub-daily output resolution. Note by Alex Ruane, posted by @Briony Turner 16 September 2024 |
