NorStore Research Data Archive: Guidelines for ingestion of NorESM output

This is an old revision of the document!

The recommendations presented on this page are based on discussion between Alok, Mats and Ingo. Please feel free to comment and modify them.

The access point to NorStore's Research Data Archive is http://archive.norstore.no

For testing purposes, the alternative site http://archive-test.norstore.uio.no should be used.

We recommend to use following formula:

<MODEL ACRONYM> <PROJECT> <OFFICIAL EXPERIMENT ACRONYM> r<realisation number>[<realisation letter>] <output type>

Examples:

NorESM1-M CMIP5 historicalExt r1 raw output
NorESM1-ME CMIP5 rcp85 r1a raw output
NorESM1-ME CMIP5 rcp85 r1 cmor-processed output

<output type> should be a brief and general description of the type of output, e.g. raw output or cmor-processed output. Information on data format etc will be specified elsewhere.

<realisation letter> can be used if an experiment is composed of several cases – e.g., NorESM1-ME CMIP5 rcp85 r1 is associated with the cases NRCP85AERCNOC_f19_g16_01 and NRCP85AERCNOC_f19_g16_02 – and one intends to create a dataset for each cases.

If the dataset matches a NorESM case then specify the case name as label, e.g., NAER1850CNOC_f19_g16_06.

If in doubt, specify
