CMIP6 Online Seminars on 20, 21 April & 15 May 2020 

---

CMIP6 aims to improve our understanding of, and ability to simulate, key climate phenomena and future climate change using a coordinated multi-model approach. CMIP6 is an important application of the UKESM models. In CMIP6, UKESM1 and other climate models from around the world will be integrated using a common set of experiment protocols to address a range of key science questions. Five online seminars were held during April & May 2020 to bring together scientists working on the analysis of CMIP6 simulations to present and discuss their work. Recordings of those sessions are available below:

Presentation slides are available for each session as follows:
