The start-date ensemble is reflected in the DCPP data naming convention with the addition of a s<yyyy> start-date ensemble identifier ahead of the conventional CMIP6 ripf ensemble identifiers. For example, a simulation with a start year of 2014 will have the start-date ensemble identifier s2014, and a full ensemble identifier that follows the pattern s2014-r<W>i<X>p<Y>f<Z> where W, X, Y and Z are positive integers. (I am not fully sure if I understand this correctly. It seems you refer to the climate projection documentation's Ensemble sub-section, is that correct (I think we can directly refer to the subsection too)? Otherwise I understand that the ensembles are identified with one additional identifier with respect to the climate projections and that is the s<yyyy>.)
