AMIP is a standard experimental protocol for global atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs).
The Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) studies output from coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation models that also include interactive sea ice.

obs4MIPs (Observations for Model Intercomparison Projects) is an activity to make observational products more accessible for climate model intercomparisons.
input4MIPs (input datasets for Model Intercomparison Projects) is an activity to make available via ESGF the boundary condition and forcing datasets needed for CMIP6 and CMIP7. The latest information about CMIP7 datasets can be found on the input4MIPs_CVs website.
Various datasets are needed for the pre-industrial control (piControl), AMIP, and historical simulations, and additional datasets were needed for many of the CMIP6-endorsed model intercomparison projects (MIPs) experiments, along with those that will be needed for the CMIP7 MIP follow-ons.
Earlier versions of many of these datasets were used in the 5th Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5).
