The PCMDI is funded by the Climate Change Research Division of the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science, Biological and Environmental Research (BER) program, and its mission is to develop improved methods and tools for the diagnosis and comparison of general circulation models (GCMs) that simulate the global climate. Current PCMDI projects include climate model comparison and devising methods for climate change detection and attribution.
