Experiments

The CDS-CORDEX subset consists of the following CORDEX experiments partly derived from the CMIP5 ones:

...

• The Quality Assurance compliance checking tool from DKRZ is used to check that: 
• the file name adheres to the CORDEX file naming convention, 
• the global attributes of the NetCDF file are consistent with filename,
• there are no omissions of required CORDEX metadata.
• The CF-Checker Climate and Forecast (CF) conventions checker (included in the QA-DKRZ) ensures that any metadata that is provided is consistent with the CF conventions. 

The figure below shows a scheme that classifies the tests performed by the QA-DKRZ tool in twelve categories (in green) showing the specific tests/checks in each case.

• When possible (i.e., optional),  the Time Axis checker developed by the IPSL is used to check the temporal dimension of the data:
• for individual files the time dimension of the data is checked to ensure it is valid and is consistent with the temporal information in the filename, 
• where more than one file is required to generate a time-series of data, the files have been checked to ensure there are no temporal gaps or overlaps between the files.
