Data

...

A data availability matrix for the C3S CMIP5 exists at: https://cp-availability.ceda.ac.uk.

...

Format

The CDS subset of CMIP5 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:

Where

...

Where

  • variable is a short variable name, e.g. “tas” for ”temperature at the surface”
  • cmor_table is a reference to the realm (an earth system component such as atmosphere or ocean) and frequency of the variable, e.g. “Amon” indicates that a variable is present in the atmosphere realm at a monthly frequency (link to list of these)
  • model is the name of the model that produced the data
  • ensemble member is the ensemble identifier in the form “r<X>i<Y>p<Z>”, X, Y and Z are integers
  • the temporal range is in the form YYYYMM[DDHH]-YYYY[MMDDHH], where Y is year, M is the month, D is day and H is hour. Note that day and hour are optional (indicated by the square brackets) and are only used if needed by the frequency of the data. For example daily data from the 1st of January 1980 to the 31st of December 2010 would be written 19800101-20101231.

Please note that the CIMP5 filenames in the CDS do not contain a version tag as opposed to the file names used for the corresponding data in the ESGF nodes, where you have the versioning information. In the CDS we serve the latest version of the CMIP5 data which is now complete (no new version expected). To find the version number of this latest version published in the CDS, see the metadata of the netcdf file. This contains a track identity of the file and an http address for each file from where the version number information may be checked.

Quality control of the CDS-CMIP5 subset

...

  • Please note that not all the combinations of models and variables exist. This feature is inherited from the ESGF system, where the main target is to publish as much as possible data and even publish incomplete datasets, which might be of use. This allows to have more data available with the price that not everything is fully complete.
