The Ocean Model Intercomparison Project(OMIP) is an endorsed project in the Coupled Model In-tercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6). OMIP addressesCMIP6 science questions, investigating the origins and con-sequences of systematic model biases. It does so by provid-ing a framework for evaluating (including assessment of sys-tematic biases), understanding, and improving ocean, sea-ice, tracer, and biogeochemical components of climate andearth system models contributing to CMIP6. Among theWCRP Grand Challenges in climate science (GCs), OMIPprimarily contributes to the regional sea level change andnear-term (climate/decadal) prediction GCs.OMIP provides (a) an experimental protocol for globalocean/sea-ice models run with a prescribed atmospheric forc-ing; and (b) a protocol for ocean diagnostics to be saved aspart of CMIP6. We focus here on the physical componentof OMIP, with a companion paper (Orr et al., 2016) detail-ing methods .....
