The PCMDI Metrics Package (PMP) provides a diverse suite of objective summaries of Earth System Model agreement with observations. Simulation summary metrics listed below is our preliminary results marked as version 0.1 released at 31 May 2019. Further update will follow.
Metrics for Modes of Variability Metrics for CMIP5/6 models. The Modes of Variability Metrics is developed at Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison (PCMDI) of Lawrence Livermore Natioanal Laboratory (LLNL). The metrics were developed by Jiwoo Lee, Ken Sperber, Peter Gleckler, Celine Bonfils, and Karl Taylor.
