    The Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison (PCMDI) was established in 1989 at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in Livermore, California. PCMDI's principal mission is to develop improved methods and tools for the diagnosis, validation and intercomparison of global climate models.
