Data sharing via NorStore's Earth System Grid data portal

Basic use

All users of the NorStore project ns2345k have the possibility to share their data via NorStore's ESG data portal http://noresg.norstore.no.

Requirements are:

the data needs to reside in /projects/ns2345k

only netcdf files are considered

all files must be regular (i.e., no symbolic links)

file names must all be unique (because folder hierarchy is flattened)

reading permissions of data files must be open to everyone (does not apply to folders)

Note that the data sharing solution uses hard links to avoid additional use of disk resources.

Publishing a simple dataset to NorStore's ESG data portal

For simple data sharing via the data portal, use the script /projects/NS2345K/tools/esgpublish:

Usage: esgpublish <path to data directory> <dataset name>
Example: esgpublish /projects/NS2345K/noresm/thredds/CORE2/AMOC CORE2-AMOC
Purpose: Publish data via NorStore's online data portal http://noresg.norstore.no
Description: The data folder must be in the project folder /projects/NS2345K.
Only regular files (i.e., no symbolic links) of netcdf format are
considered.
All date files must have unique names as the folder stucture is
flattened during publication.
Reading permissions of the data files have to be open to everyone,
but reading permissions of the folders containing the files can be
closed.
<dataset name> should be one word and not contain special
characters other than "-" and "_".
