For more information, check the [WCR-Climate webpage](https://www.wcrp-climate.org/).

-**ensemble**: An ensemble is a collection of experiments based on standardised inputs. This ensures that ensemble calculations use the same initial states, initialisation methods, and physics details. Ensemble members are named in the rip-nomenclature, *r* for realization, *i* for initialisation and *p* for physics, followed by an integer, e.g. r1i1p1.
