NorStore Research Data Archive: Guidelines for ingestion of NorESM output
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.
Metadata
Coverage
Please follow DCMI recommendations (http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-namespace) when specifying coverage.
Box
If coverage is global, use:
- northlimit=90
- southlimit=-90
- westlimit=-180
- eastlimit=180
- units=signed decimal degrees
(leave rest unspecified)
Period
Description
Recommended content in description:
- long version of title, e.g. “Norwegian Earth System Model version 1 (medium resolution) output prepared for the CMIP5 pre-industrial control experiment.”
- citation information (see below)
- reference to CMIP5 experimental design (http://cmip-pcmdi.llnl.gov/cmip5/docs/Taylor_CMIP5_design.pdf)
- forcing agents (information available at http://search.es-doc.org)
- initialisation (parent experiment, branch time)

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

Title
We recommend to use following formula:
<MODEL ACRONYM> <PROJECT> <OFFICIAL EXPERIMENT ACRONYM> (<experiment number in Taylor document>) r<realisation number>[<realisation letter>] <output type>
Examples:
NorESM1-M CMIP5 historicalExt (3.2) r1 raw output
NorESM1-ME CMIP5 rcp85 (4.2) r1a raw output
NorESM1-ME CMIP5 rcp85 (4.2) 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.
