Abstract: Pathway to regular and sustained delivery of climate forcing datasets What:The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) community came together to discuss progress and planning for climate "forcing" dataset generation for the upcoming CMIP7 project.Discussions also focused on evolving existing efforts toward delivering a sustained or "operational" forcing data generation activity over the longer term.This aims to provide high-priority forcing datasets in a regular delivery mode to meet user needs, sustained by appropriate funding, resources, and infrastructure.
