The intercomparison was designed to evaluate the relative capabilities and the optimum methodology of the diverse range of mass spectrometers currently used to record accurate mass measurements.
In the latest EMIC intercomparison project, EMIC AR5, designed for contributing to the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) report, there were 15 participant EMICs (http://climate.uvic.ca/EMICAR5/).uvic.ca/EMICAR5/
The LBA data-model intercomparison project (LBA-DMIP) was designed to compare land surface/ecosystem model simulations of terrestrial energy, water and CO2 fluxes with long-term observations of these quantities over Amazonia to provide understanding on how well these models quantify the land surface process, to assess deficiencies in the models and to suggest how they could be improved.
Given this variety of model targets and output variables, the design of EMIC model intercomparison projects can be more difficult than that of GCMs/ESMs, in terms of what can or should be compared.
In addition to an intercomparison of radioxenon monitoring equipment of different design, this paper also presents a set of more than 2000 measurements of activity concentrations of radioactive xenon made in the city of Freiburg, Germany in 2000.
The analysis of counting and catching errors of both catching and non-catching types of rain intensity (RI) gauges was possible for the first time over a wide variety of measuring principles and instrument design solutions based on the recent Field Intercomparison of Rainfall Intensity Gauges promoted by WMO, the World Meteorological Organisation.
In order to conduct an objective intercomparison of the various satellite products, the study was designed to minimize the level of uncertainties in the evaluation process.
The CHAmeleon Surface Model (CHASM) is used with the Project for the Intercomparison of Land-surface Parameterization Schemes (PILPS) Phase 2 e) experimental design.
Our next plan, the High Resolution Model Intercomparison Project (HighResMIP), is briefly described in the "Future perspectives" section.
Three "standard" Nolan Pollak (N P) and a modified N P design condensation nucleus (CN) counters were included in the Vienna Workshop on Intercomparison of Condensation Nuclei and Aerosol Particle counters.
