-====== PMIP-CMIP6 Experimental Design Discussion: Overview and Prioritization ======

-===== Overview ===== 
- 
- 
-The following table summarizes the experiments proposed by PMIP for CMIP6. These 
-experiments all build from the DECK experiments and are part of the core of PMIP simulations 
-(~10), which will themselves constitute a basis for other PMIP experiments (sensitivity analyses, 
-transient simulations starting from the core ones). Within PMIP, each PMIP working group will 
-organize their set of simulations,​ as PMIP also federates focused MIPs such as PlioMIP on the 
-Pliocene climate, LIGMIP on the Last Interglacial,​ PAST2K on the last two millennia. **For all these periods the model to be used is the same as the one used for future climate 
-projections.** Therefore depending on the groups the model will be only atmosphere-ocean 
-coupled models or Earth System models. The reference for the analyses will be the CMIP6 preindustrial 
-simulation. 
- 
-Table: summary of proposed experiments. In yellow: PMIP3/CMIP5 experiments. In green: new 
-experiments for CMIP6. The PMIP3/CMIP5 experiment names in the ESFG nomenclature are indicated in 
-italic below each period name.

- 
-The next phase of PMIP will make use of the PMIP3 boundary conditions whenever possible. A 
-major foreseen evolution is related to the interactive computation of the dust cycle in 
-atmospheric models, for which changes in vegetation also have to be taken into account. PMIP2 
-and PMIP3 recommended the use of either interactive vegetation or prescribed pre-industrial 
-vegetation. For PMIP4, those models which include an interactive representation of the dust 
-cycle will have to account for changes in vegetation. **We invite the modelling groups to indicate their intentions and opinion about this particular topic in the discussion section at the bottom of this page**. 
- 
-===== Prioritization ===== 
-  
- 
-Each proposed PMIP experiment for CMIP6 can be run independently,​ because they focus on 
-different time periods. The midHolocene and lgm experiments have been the focus of PMIP 
-since its start and allow for an evaluation of new model versions since the first atmosphere-only 
-GCMs in PMIP1. We therefore require one of these two simulations to be performed as an entry 
-card to CMIP6-PMIP4 experiments. All five PMIP experiments proposed for CMIP6 have equal 
-priority, each experiment being the core of a set of sensitivity experiments to be run within 
-PMIP. The organization of the PMIP experiments w.r.t CMIP6 is given in the figure below.
