Unraveling the Mystery: A Guide to Understanding VARIANT-IDs in CMIP6 Metadata

The Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) is a global effort to coordinate and standardize climate model simulations. CMIP6 includes a large number of climate models and simulations, each of which is identified by a unique identifier called a VARIANT-ID. The VARIANT-ID is an essential part of the CMIP6 metadata and is used to
