                ESMValTool

                The Earth System Model Validation Tool (ESMValTool) is a diagnostics tool for the routine evaluation of Earth System Models (ESMs) with observations. It tests the representation of climatological means, trends and variability of essential climate variables (ECVs) in the models on a range of temporal and spatial scales and additionally includes process-oriented evaluation.
