DCPP data like the rest of CMIP6 is reported either on the model’s native grid or re-gridded to one or more target grids with data variables generally provided near the centre of each grid cell (rather than at the boundaries). A grid grid_label (found in the file name following the ensemble identifier and also in the file's global metadata attributes) indicates whether the data is provided on the model's native grid (gn) or has been re-gridded (gr) to a target grid. For DCPP data in the CDS, only data from the EC-Earth3 model has been re-gridded to a target grid, data from the other models are provided on each model's native grid. The file's "nominal_resolution" global metadata attribute gives an indication of the resolution of the data, for the DCPP data in the CDS the nominal resolution of the models is 100km (except for MPI-ESM1-2-LR model, which is 250 km).
Data Format
The CDS subset of DCPP data are provided as NetCDF files. NetCDF (Network Common Data Form) is a file format that is freely available and commonly used in the climate modelling community. See more details: What are NetCDF files and how can I read them
