The World Data Service for Paleoclimatology archives climate model input and output files. Efforts to understand past climate and predict future climate change rely on computer climate models that include the physical processes of the climate system. Model datasets archived by the World Data Service enable rigorous comparisons between numerical simulations and paleoclimatology data.
