- **CMIP**: The Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) aims at better understanding past, present and future climate changes arising from natural, unforced variability or in response to changes in radiative forcing in a multi-model context. 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.

- **mask**: Masks are used to isolate regions. For example, if you apply an ocean mask, then coordinates in the ocean will not be taken into account for the preprocessors/diagnostics. Masks can also be used to work with regions that have missing or invalid entries.
