Supporting evidence — 4 representative gaps

• CMIP7 data request: ocean and sea ice priorities and opportunities (2026) · Geoscientific Model Development · cited 1× · doi

  The paper identifies a gap in the current Earth System Models, which have limitations in simulating key oceanic and cryospheric processes. There is a need for more sophisticated, integrative model outputs that address pressing climate questions. The paper also highlights the need for targeted, efficient, and transparent data curation to support a wide range of users.
