Welcome to the WATCH global modelling webpages! On these pages you will hopefully find all the information needed to participate in WaterMIP (Water Model Intercomparison Project), and do the WATCH global long-term modelling. The most important submenus are:
Workplan, meetings: An overview of the workplan, in addition to information on important dates about e.g. submission deadlines and meetings related to the global modelling efforts.
Data format: Information on data format and naming convention of variables.
WaterMIP Protocol 2009A: Information on WaterMIP (WATCH - GWSP model intercomparison project), including model setup, which variables to submit, file format and naming convention, in addition to what additional information we ask for.
WaterMIP E-mail Archive: Archive of relevant WaterMIP e-mails sent in the past months.
WB4 - Extremes: WB4 issues
WB6 - Water Resources: Information on what variables to submit for the long-term (30+ years) modelling for WB6, 20th and 21st century.
