Abstract
The Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISIMIP) aims to provide a quantitative and cross-sectoral synthesis of the different impacts of climate change. To this end, a simulation protocol defines a set of common experiments that are valid across sectors. Modelling groups around the world run their simulations following this protocol using climate and socio-economic forcing data provided by ISIMIP. The impact model output data is collected by the ISIMIP team at PIK and made publicly available via the ISIMIP repository. In total, more than 100 TB of up-to-date climate impact simulations are freely available. The data is broadly used by the international scientific community, but also by economic and civil society actors. The workflow of data submission and publication was considerably improved by the the introduction of a machine-actionable protocol and the development of several interlinked software tools for data maintenance, quality control and data publication. While the specific implementation is tailored to ISIMIP, the general ideas should be transferable to other projects.
