Publication Protocol for papers using CFMIP data.

Please include the following acknowledgement in any papers using CFMIP data. "We acknowledge the modeling groups for making their simulations available for analysis, the Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison (PCMDI) for collecting and archiving the CMIP3 and CFMIP model output, and the WCRP's Working Group on Coupled Modelling (WGCM) for organizing the model data analysis activity. The WCRP CMIP3 and CFMIP multi-model datasets are supported by the Office of Science, U.S. Department of Energy."
