Dear colleagues,
There are also updates on the CMIP AR7  Fast Track timeline that might be
of interest to you.

Best wishes,
Ada

Subject: Announcement: WGCM endorsement of the CMIP AR7 Fast Track
To:


The *CMIP Panel* <https://wcrp-cmip.org/cmip-governance/cmip-panel/> recently
met in-person to present the CMIP AR7 Fast Track to the *Working Group on
Coupled Modelling (WGCM)* <https://www.wcrp-climate.org/wgcm-overview> as
part of the first meeting of the WCRP *Earth System Modelling and
Observations (ESMO) <https://www.wcrp-esmo.org/> *Core Project.



An important aim of the wider CMIP Panel meeting on Monday 18th March was
to finalise the proposed experiment selection of the AR7 Fast Track
after *extensive
consultation <https://zenodo.org/records/10939924>* with the CMIP community
in recent months. Reflecting carefully on the input from the modelling
centres and wider community, the Panel confirmed their experiment
selection, including additions to the DECK, which was presented to and
endorsed by the WGCM at their meeting later in the week. You can browse
through our new *interactive experiment viewer
<https://airtable.com/appVPW6XAZfbOZjYM/shrqq9I4NJThwOT9W/tblkc1lkKEtiYKcho>*
to
learn more about each experiment and its justification for inclusion in the
AR7 Fast Track. The most recent updates on the CMIP AR7 Fast Track can
always be found on the *CMIP7 webpage <https://wcrp-cmip.org/cmip7>*.

Following WGCM endorsement, the CMIP Panel will be submitting a paper
covering the CMIP7 experimental design, including the AR7 Fast Track, to
GMD in late 2024.

The Panel and WGCM members recognised the ambitious timeline for delivery
of the Fast Track to meet the anticipated but as yet unconfirmed IPCC
deadlines. However, they were encouraged that nearly all modelling centres
indicated their intention to contribute, many with next generation models,
in the AR7 Fast Track v2 survey in February 2024.

Given the AR7 Fast Track dependence on timely delivery of forcings and the
data request, updates from these task teams was eagerly anticipated, and
the current progress well received. The CMIP Forcings Task Team is actively
working towards delivery of a testing-ready updates by mid-year (*latest
timeline here* <https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8158515>), and the Data
Request Task Team has established *five thematic teams to define a
collection of harmonised variables*
<https://wcrp-cmip.org/cmip7-data-request-harmonised-thematic-variables/>.
Plans for development of guidance were also on spin up, emissions driven
model configuration strategy, and potential coordination of the Fast Track
ensemble across the modelling centres was also discussed in the *Strategic
Ensemble Design Task Team*
<https://wcrp-cmip.org/cmip7-task-teams/ensemble-design/> update.

The *WCRP Earth System Modelling and Observations (ESMO) Core Project*
<https://www.wcrp-climate.org/esmo-overview> kindly hosted the meeting at
Deutsche Klimarechenzentrum (DKRZ) in Hamburg. Key outcomes were the
endorsement of the CMIP AR7 Fast Track experiment selection, progress on
science goals, agreement on scoping of a more regular and sustained CMIP,
and updates from the CMIP7 task teams.
