The Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) HighResMIP experiments are designed to understand the impact of the horizontal resolution of climate models on the global climate simulation. Within HighResMIP each of the experiments (see Haarsma, R. J. and co-authors for details) are run using both a reference resolution model that is consistent with typical CMIP6 models and a higher resolution model. Only minimal changes are made to the model configurations between the model resolutions as recommended to isolate the effect of resolution changes. The output from the model simulations are archived to the CMIP6 Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF).
