The global climate projections in the Climate Data Store (CDS) are a quality-controlled subset of the wider CMIP6 data. These data represent only a small subset of CMIP6 archive. A set of 51 core variables from the CMIP6 archive were identified for the CDS. These variables are provided from 9 of the most popular CMIP6 experiments.
The CDS subset of CMIP6 data has been through a quality control procedure which ensures a high standard of dependability of the data. It may be for example, that similar data can be found in the main CMIP6 ESGF archive however these data come with very limited quality assurance and may have metadata errors or omissions.
