The recent proliferation of datasets makes it difficult for individual scientists to know which are most appropriate for specific applications, including evaluation and analysis of increasingly complex and comprehensive Earth System Models (ESMs). The World Climate Research Programme's Working Group on Coupled Modeling has led to new demands for observational assessments and dataset availability for evaluating the forthcoming Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) model runs. This project will establish and maintain a web-based Informed Guide to selected climate data sets of relevance to the evaluation of ESMs. The two main objectives are: 1) to evaluate and assess selected climate datasets, and 2) to provide "expert-user" guidance and advice on the utility and limitations of selected climate data sets. Each component of the earth system will be addressed, including the atmosphere, ocean, land, cryosphere, and biosphere.Broader SignificanceThe Informed Guide is intended to serve as a community resource through broad participation by university and other climate researchers worldwide. The interactive website is expected to enhance the ability of researchers and students to understand data limitations and effectively utilize data in their research. The project will facilitate and enhance access to relevant climate data archives for diagnostic analyses and evaluation of ESMs from a system perspective, including those models participating in the upcoming Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) and CMIP5 activities.

最近数据集的激增使得单个科学家很难知道哪一个最适合特定的应用，包括对日益复杂和全面的地球系统模型（ESMs）的评估和分析。世界气候研究计划耦合模式工作组对观测评估和数据集可用性提出了新的要求，以评估即将到来的耦合模式比对项目第5阶段（CMIP5）模式运行。该项目将建立并维护一份基于网络的《知情指南》，内容涉及与环境监测机制评估相关的选定气候数据集。两个主要目标是：1)评价和评估选定的气候数据集，2)就选定气候数据集的效用和局限性提供“专家-用户”指导和建议。地球系统的每一个组成部分，包括大气、海洋、陆地、冰冻圈和生物圈。更广泛的意义《知情指南》旨在通过全球大学和其他气候研究人员的广泛参与，作为一种社区资源。该互动网站旨在提高研究人员和学生理解数据局限性的能力，并在他们的研究中有效地利用数据。该项目将促进和加强对相关气候数据档案的获取，以便从系统角度对esm进行诊断分析和评估，包括那些参与即将到来的政府间气候变化专门委员会（IPCC）第五次评估报告（AR5）和CMIP5活动的模式。
