Coupled Model Intercomparison Project

Target entity: Coupled Model Intercomparison Project
Context triple: [Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, participatesIn, Coupled Model Intercomparison Project]

• A. World Climate Research Programme
  The World Climate Research Programme is an international scientific initiative that coordinates and advances global climate research to improve understanding and prediction of the Earth’s climate system.
• B. Manabe–Wetherald climate model
  The Manabe–Wetherald climate model is a pioneering one-dimensional radiative–convective model that first quantified how increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide affects Earth’s temperature and vertical temperature profile.
• C. Representative Concentration Pathways
  Representative Concentration Pathways are standardized greenhouse gas concentration trajectories used in climate modeling to project future climate change under different emissions scenarios.
• D. Earth System Model Development
  Earth System Model Development is a research program focused on advancing comprehensive computer models that simulate the coupled atmosphere, ocean, land, ice, and biogeochemical processes of the Earth’s climate system.
• E. World Climate Programme
  The World Climate Programme is an international initiative that coordinates global efforts to understand, monitor, and address climate variability and change, particularly in support of climate services and policy.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
