R client for CMIP (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project) data
Under the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) the Working Group on Coupled Modelling (WGCM) established the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) as a standard experimental protocol for studying the output of coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation models (AOGCMs). Virtually the entire international climate modeling community has participated in this project since its inception in 1995.
