That was a legacy of the CMIP6 choices, the intermediate scenarios and other futures just weren't part of ISMIP6. WCRP preplanning really needs more community input rather than just after the fact. It would be great if observational folks like you get involved!

In retrospect, forcing the entire campus to move from our locally hosted, open source LMS to a commercial, single point of failure LMS that also happens to be owned by a company that wants to turn all our labor into AI training data may not have been a good idea.
