  abstract = {{T}his paper provides initial results from a multi-model ensemble analysis based on the volc-pinatubo-full experiment performed within the {M}odel {I}ntercomparison {P}roject on the climatic response to {V}olcanic forcing ({V}ol{MIP}) as part of the sixth phase of the {C}oupled {M}odel {I}ntercomparison {P}roject ({CMIP}6). {T}he volc-pinatubo-full experiment is based on an ensemble of volcanic forcing-only climate simulations with the same volcanic aerosol dataset across the participating models (the 1991-1993 {P}inatubo period from the {CMIP}6-{G}lo{SSAC} dataset). {T}he simulations are conducted within an idealized experimental design where initial states are sampled consistently across models from the {CMIP}6-pi{C}ontrol simulation providing unperturbed preindustrial background conditions. {T}he multi-model ensemble includes output from an initial set of six participating {E}arth system models ({C}an{ESM}5, {GISS}-{E}2.1-{G}, {IPSL}-{CM}6{A}-{LR}, {MIROC}-{E}2{SL}, {MPI}-{ESM}1.2-{LR} and {UKESM}1). {T}he results show overall good agreement between the different models on the global and hemispheric scales concerning the surface climate responses, thus demonstrating the overall effectiveness of {V}ol{MIP}'s experimental design. {H}owever, small yet significant inter-model discrepancies are found in radiative fluxes, especially in the tropics, that preliminary analyses link with minor differences in forcing implementation; model physics, notably aerosol-radiation interactions; the simulation and sampling of {E}l {N}ino-{S}outhern {O}scillation ({ENSO}); and, possibly, the simulation of climate feedbacks operating in the tropics. {W}e discuss the volc-pinatubo-full protocol and highlight the advantages of volcanic forcing experiments defined within a carefully designed protocol with respect to emerging modelling approaches based on large ensemble transient simulations. {W}e identify how the {V}ol{MIP} strategy could be improved in future phases of the initiative to ensure a cleaner sampling protocol with greater focus on the evolving state of {ENSO} in the pre-eruption period.},
