We are aiming at publishing various CORDEX domains for the entire World. The CDS-CORDEX subset at the moment consists of the Europe (EURO), Mediterranean (MED), and North America (NAM) and Arctic (ARC) CORDEX domains. More details of the entire list of CORDEX domains can be found at https://cordex.org/domains/; additionally more details for the EURO-CORDEX activities are available at https://www.euro-cordex.net/

Experiments
The CDS-CORDEX subset consists of the following CORDEX experiments partly derived from the CMIP5 ones:
...
The driving GCM and RCM models included in the CDS-CORDEX subsets for the different domains available are detailed in the tables below. Note that the ensembles for different domains are formed by different GCM and RCM combinations from the main CMIP5 and CORDEX archives, respectively: these include 8 GCMs and 13 RCMs for EURO-CORDEX , 8 GCMs and 5 RCMs for Med-CORDEX, 8 GCMs and 8 RCMs for North-America CORDEX, and 5 GCMs and 6 RCMs for the Arctic. Please note that a small number of models were not included as those data have a research-only restriction on their use, while the data presented in the CDS are released without any restriction.
In the tables below, please see the GCM-RCM combinations for each published domains.

The 13 Regional Climate Models that ran simulations over the European domain will be documented through the Earth-System Documentation (ES-DOC) which provides a standardised and easy way to document climate models.
