These datasets contain the 21st century atmospheric and oceanic forcing datasets used for Greenland and Antarctic standalone ice sheet model simulations as part of the Ice Sheet Model Intercomparison Project for CMIP6 (ISMIP6). ISMIP6 is a targeted activity of the Climate and Cryosphere (CliC) project of the World Climate Research Project (WCRP) and has been formally endorsed by the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6; Eyring et al., 2016). The datasets were prepared using CMIP5 and CMIP6 models listed in the table below (see also Table 1, Nowicki et al. 2020). The CMIP5 models were selected independently for the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets (Barthel et al., 2020), using atmospheric and oceanic metrics appropriate for each ice sheet. As CMIP6 models started to become available in late spring–summer 2019, ISMIP6 selected four CMIP6 models based solely on their availability. The ISMIP6 forcing datasets are presented in Nowicki et al. (2020). For more information on how the oceanic ...
