Each variable is defined and placed into an appropriate 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 specifically requested by Phase 2 of the Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project (CFMIP-2). The second part of the document (the final two tables) defines the subsets of variables requested for each CMIP5 experiment. There is also an informational page (page 1) that provides general information concerning the grids on which ...
