The DCPP experiments published in the CDS, are a suite of overlapping simulations that are initialised every year throughout the duration of the start-date range specified by the experiment. The simulations begin in November to allow for DJF (December, January, February) seasonal averages to be calculated. There are 10 (16) simulations (ensemble members) for each start-date (called "Base year" in he the CDS form).

The start-date ensemble is reflected in the DCPP data naming convention with the addition of a s<yyyy> start-date ensemble identifier ahead of the conventional CMIP6 ripf ensemble identifiers. For example, a simulation with a start year of 2014 will have the start-date ensemble identifier s2014, and a full ensemble identifier that follows the pattern s2014-r<W>i<X>p<Y>f<Z> where W, X, Y and Z are positive integers.
