Go to Climate Change Overview Understanding Global Warming Climate Models CMIP The CMIP5 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5) is a standard experimental framework for studying the output of coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation models. It is the most current and extensive of the CMIPs organized by the Working Group on Coupled Modelling (WGCM) of the World Climate Research Programme’s (WCRP). Table 1 . The tropical region receives the most solar energy. There are important discrepancies between models and observations regarding tropical tropospheric temperature trends. The most likely cause of the discrepancies between models and observations is that the feedbacks in the models are too strongly positive. Source: December 12th, 2019, Roy W. Spencer.
