The repository content has been collected from many contributors representing the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 6+ (CMIP6Plus), including those from climate modeling groups and model intercomparison projects (MIPs) worldwide. The structure of content and tools required to maintain it was developed by climate and computer scientists from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project International Project Office (CMIP-IPO), the Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison (PCMDI) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), and the UK MetOffice, with assistance from colleagues at the UK Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA), the Deutsches Klimarechenzentrum (DKRZ) in Germany and the members of the Infrastructure for the European Network for Earth System Modelling (IS-ENES) consortium.

This work is sponsored by the Regional and Global Model Analysis (RGMA) program of the Earth and Environmental Systems Sciences Division (EESSD) in the Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER) within the Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Science (OS).
