Precipitation Driver Response Model Intercomparison Project (PDRMIP)
PDRMIP is a climate model intercomparison initiative, launched in Oslo, Norway on 13-15 November, 2013.

Project details
The project was initiated jointly with the kick-off meeting for the Norwegian Research Council project NAPEX (Natural and Anthropogenic influence on Precipitation and EXtreme events).
PDRMIP will include several dedicated analysis including a better understanding of the drivers' importance for differences in precipitation changes, energy budget analysis and extremes related to precipitation.
PDRMIP has participation from eleven modelling groups and is led by Gunnar Myhre (gunnar.myhre@cicero.oslo.no) and Piers Forster (P.M.Forster@leeds.ac.uk).
