| description | The Global Monsoons Model Inter-comparison Project (GMMIP)
has been endorsed by the panel of Coupled Model Inter-comparison
Project (CMIP) as one of the participating model inter-comparison projects (MIPs) in the sixth phase of CMIP
(CMIP6). The focus of GMMIP is on monsoon climatology, variability,
prediction and projection, which is relevant to four of the “Grand
Challenges” proposed by the World Climate Research Programme. At present,
21 international modeling groups are committed to joining GMMIP. This
overview paper introduces the motivation behind GMMIP and the scientific
questions it intends to answer. Three tiers of experiments, of decreasing
priority, are designed to examine (a) model skill in simulating the
climatology and interannual-to-multidecadal variability of global monsoons
forced by the sea surface temperature during historical climate period; (b) the roles of
the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation and Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation
in driving variations of the global and regional monsoons; and (c) the
effects of large orographic terrain on the establishment of the monsoons.
The outputs of the CMIP6 Diagnostic, Evaluation and Characterization of Klima experiments (DECK), “historical” simulation and endorsed MIPs
will also be used in the diagnostic analysis of GMMIP to give a
comprehensive understanding of the roles played by different external
forcings, potential improvements in the simulation of monsoon rainfall at
high resolution and reproducibility at decadal timescales. The
implementation of GMMIP will improve our understanding of the fundamental
physics of changes in the global and regional monsoons over the past 140 years
and ultimately benefit monsoons prediction and projection in the current century. |
