Users should cite the original publication when using all or part of the data.

More specifically, when using the climate model output, indicated with an *, please acknowledge the work of the people involved in producing them. Acknowledgements should have language similar to the below that contained both informations related to MAR and CMIP5/6. In order to document MAR scientific impact and enable ongoing support of the model, users are likely encouraged to contact C. Kittel to add their works in the list of MAR-related publications.

"We thank C. Kittel and the MAR team which make available the model outputs, as well agencies (F.R.S - FNRS, CÉCI, and the Walloon Region) that provided computational resources for MAR simulations. We acknowledge the World Climate Research Programme, which, through it's Working Group on Coupled Modelling, coordinated and promoted CMIP5 and CMIP6. We thank the climate modeling groups for producing and making available their model output, the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) for archiving the CMIP data and providing access, and the multiple funding agencies who support CMIP5 and CMIP6 and ESGF. "
