acccmip6 documentation

acccmip6 allows user to access the 6th Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) database in real-time. CMIP6 is still updating its database (as of Sep. 2019) and new data for different Tier experiments are still to come. It’s a hassle to go through their servers and put search terms manually everytime to find out whether your desired data is uploaded yet or not! Instead, use acccmip6, to get what you need in seconds. This is written in python and does not require any python programming experience. It outputs what models, experiments, variables and realizations are currently available.
