Request CMIP5 data sets

You can use the form below to ask for the addition of a CMIP5 data set to the CMIP Analysis Platform if you have an active project or an approved allocation request.

Before you submit a request, check here to see if the data set that you need is already available.

If the data set is not there and you meet the criteria described on the home page, use the form below to submit your request.

Fulfilling a small request takes about two weeks. Large requests – those that involve several models and/or high data frequency, for example – take longer.

NCAR staff: The CMIP Analysis Platform data sets are available for your analyses without any action on your part. If you would like to ask for a data set to be added to the repository, contact CISL to request access to the platform before completing the request form.

Check the "Data sets available" page to confirm that what you are requesting is not already available. Some commonly requested data sets, such as NCAR-CCSM4, are already there and so do not appear on the list. You can select more than one model. Windows users, for example, can hold down the Ctrl key while making multiple selections.
