*Note: Since hindcast and forecast data begins in November, the actual period the data covers only includes the November and December for a given start year, and however the last year excludes includes November and December. For example, for the 1960 start year, 1960 includes November and December , and 1961 - 1970 have full coverage, and 1971 covers January to October.
Parameter listings
Data for the dcppA-hindcast experiments and the dcppB-forecast experiments will include parameters at monthly and daily resolution as described in the tables below. The parameter descriptions presented here are harvested from the CMIP6 Data Request via the CLIPC variable browser.

<variable_id>_<table_id>_<source_id>_<experiment_id>_<variant_label>_<grid_label>_<time_range>.nc
Where:
- variable_id: variable is a short variable name, e.g. “tas” for “temperature at the surface”.
- table_id: this refers to the MIP table being used. The MIP tables are used to organise the variables. For example, Amon refers to monthly atmospheric variables and Oday contains daily ocean data.
- source_id: this refers to the model used that produced the data.
- experiment_id: refers to the set of experiments being run for CMIP6. For example, PiControl, historical and 1pctCO2 (1 percent per year increase in CO2).
- variant_label: is a label constructed from 5 indices (ensemble identifiers) s<yyyy>-r<W>i<X>p<Y>f<Z>the start year of the simulation as s<yyyy>, where yyyy is the start year and W, K, Y and Z are positive integers.
- grid_label: this describes the model grid used. For example, global mean data (gm), data reported on a model's native grid (gn) or regridded data reported on a grid other than the native grid and other than the preferred target grid (gr1).
- time_range: the temporal range is in the form YYYYMM[DDHH]-YYYY[MMDDHH], where Y is year, M is the month, D is day and H is hour. Note that day and hour are optional (indicated by the square brackets) and are only used if needed by the frequency of the data. For example, daily data from the 1st of January 1980 to the 31st of December 2010 would be written 19800101-20101231.
