This document defines the variables saved from the collection of CMIP5 experiments. It expands on variables defined and collected in the previous project phase, CMIP3. Each variable is defined and placed into a table in the first part of the document (first 19 tables). The tables differ by the frequency and the method specified for temporal sampling, but sometimes also indicate the primary realm within the climate system associated with the variables. A table may include variables from multiple realms, but sometimes all variables belong to a single primary realm (atmosphere, ocean, land, sea ice, land ice, or aerosol). The last 5 of these 19 tables list variables specially requested by the Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project Phase 2 (CFMIP-2, Bony et al., 2011). The second part of the document (the final two tables) defines the subsets of variables requested for each CMIP6 experiment. It also provides general information concerning the grids on which variables were reported and methods for computing ...
