TL;DR: More than 40 model groups worldwide are participating in the Coupled model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6), providing a new and rich source of information to better understand past, present, and future climate change.
Towards improved and more routine Earth system model evaluation in CMIP
Axel Lauer,Veronika Eyring +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the CMIP community has reached a critical juncture at which many baseline aspects of model evaluation need to be performed much more efficiently and consistently, and a widely accepted quasi-operational evaluation framework for CMIP6 is proposed.

Evaluation of the Performance of CMIP6 Models in Reproducing Rainfall Patterns over North Africa
Hassen Babaousmail,Rongtao Hou,Brian Ayugi,Moses Ojara,Hamida Ngoma,Rizwan Karim,Adharsh Rajasekar,Victor Ongoma +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of 15 CMIP6 models and their ensemble in simulating rainfall during 1951-2014 was evaluated using robust statistical metrics, such as empirical cumulative distribution function (ECDF), Taylor diagram (TD), and Taylor skill score (TSS).

A Pacific interdecadal climate oscillation with impacts on salmon production
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify a robust, recurring pattern of ocean-atmosphere climate variability centered over the midlatitude North Pacific basin over the past century, the amplitude of this climate pattern has varied irregularly at interannual-to-interdecadal timescales.
