The models included in the CDS-CMIP6 subset are detailed in the table below including a brief description of the model, further details can be found on the Earth System Documentation site (ES-DOC) or WDC-climate pages. Sometimes there are differences between the model details reported in the CMIP6 metadata and the source documentation, the models with such discrepancies are marked here with an asterix and further details are provided in a second table below.

For pressure level data the model output is available on the pressure levels according to the table below. Note that since the model output is standardised all models produce the data on the same pressure levels.
Frequency | Number of Levels | Pressure Levels (hPa) |
Daily | 8 | 1000., 850., 700., 500., 250., 100., 50., 10. |
Monthly | 19 | 1000., 925., 850., 700., 600., 500., 400., 300., 250., 200., 150., 100., 70., 50., 30., 20., 10., 5., 1. |
Ensembles
Each modelling centre typically run the same experiment using the same model with slightly different settings several times to confirm the robustness of results and inform sensitivity studies through the generation of statistical information. A model and its collection of runs is referred to as an ensemble. Within these ensembles, four different categories of sensitivity studies are done, and the resulting individual model runs are labelled by four integers indexing the experiments in each category
