The CMIP6 data archive is distributed through the ESGF. A quality-controlled subset of CMIP6 global climate projection data are made available through the Climate Data Store (CDS) for the users of the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). Dedicated ESGF data nodes are used for C3S in France (at IPSL) and in Germany (DKRZ). Similarly, the decadal climate prediction project (DCPP) data in the Climate Data Store (CDS) are a targeted, quality-controlled subset of the DCPP commissioned by C3S.
The published datasets are the ones which took part on the C3S sectoral demonstrator service. This demonstrator provided decadal prediction products tailored to specific users from the agriculture, energy, infrastructure and insurance sectors (see details at https://climate.copernicus.eu/sectoral-applications-decadal-predictions) . The data were used in these demonstrators following processing procedures necessary to extract valid information (e.g., bias adjustment); details on this processing are available in the technical appendix at https://climate.copernicus.eu/sectoral-applications-decadal-predictions. Any application - similar to or different from these examples - needs to consider and apply the required data processing with care.
