1. CMIP6 archive of NorESM results¶
CMIP6:
- Project under World Climate Research Programme (WCRP)
- Since 1995 CMIP has coordinated climate model experiments
- Defines common experiment protocols, forcings and output.
- 33 model groups participate
Advantages:
- Several models perform the same experiments (enabeling comparisons across models and multi-model ensembles)
- Homogenized and standardized outputs (including variable names). More specifically, all data is in compliance with the standards of the Climate Model Output Rewriter (CMOR).
1.1. Data access¶
1.1.1. The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF):¶
All data is CMOR-ized and public available here: https://esg-dn1.nsc.liu.se/search/cmip6-liu/
1.1.2. The (Norwegian) National Infrastructure for Research Data (NIRD)¶
All NIRD users can access the archive of CMOR-ized CMIP6 NorESM data under project NS9034K:
/projects/NS9034K/CMIP6/
This is the same data that you can access through the ESGF. Note data is organized by the different contributions/MIPs. The DECK and historical simulations are located under “CMIP”.
NIRD users that are members of NS9252K (NFR storage project for KeyCLIM) can access CMOR-ized CMIP6 data from multiple models under:
/projects/NS9252K/CMIP6/
Note this data has a different structure than the data residing in /projects/NS9034K/CMIP6/. If you want to make a request for data or for more data to be downloaded to this folder, contact jang@met.no. If you are a NIRD user, but not a member of this project and would like to request access, contact michaels@met.no.
NIRD users that are members of NS9252 (NFR storage project for INES) can access most of the raw (non-CMOR-ized) model data under:
/projects/NS9560K/noresm/cases/
If you are a NIRD user, but not a member of this project and would like to request access, contact mben@norceresearch.no.
