The Tipping Points Modeling Intercomparison Project (TIPMIP) is a CMIP-registered international model intercomparison project that aims to systematically advance our understanding of tipping dynamics in various Earth system components, and assess the associated uncertainties. Key areas of focus include the polar icesheets, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, high-latitude permafrost, and major terrestrial biomes (e.g., the Amazon rainforest and boreal forest). An overarching, initial TIPMIP protocol has been agreed upon by the broader TIPMIP community, and individual domain protocols are under development by domain leads, with initial phase experimental designs to be finalised in early to mid-2025. In this splinter session working meeting, we will update the community on progress towards individual protocol developments, present an overview of initial results, discuss forthcoming publications, overview our initial TIPMIP data request for CMIP, and solicit feedback from the community on these points. We warmly welcome those already engaged with TIPMIP, as well as those interested in getting involved with the project to join these discussions, including but of course not limited to those interested in contributing model runs.
