introduction

cdo cmor

3. A simple tool to convert data to CMIP standard?

Aside from the specific data structure, extensive and diverse meta data from coordinate information to global attributes must be integrated into the file

Many functions needs to be called with specific arguments, for each variable differently

Was not able to create and maintain the CMIP standard.

?

  • CMOR ensures that ouput is CMIP compliant.
  • Different CMIP standards can be produced
  • Use synergies, avoid repeating work
  • Why using CMOR to create CMIP standard?
  • Why integrate CDO with CMOR?

No user side preparation of CMIP format description

cdo cmor

3. A simple tool to convert data to CMIP standard?

  • CDO is a well known tool with an active support
  • The CDO's interface allows
    • Different infile formats
    • enables access to all infile information no matter how structured

Use the power of CDOs...

CMIP6 conform data

Postprocessing

1. Aggregation

2. Diagnostics

  • needs a recipe

3. standardization

  • requires attributes
  1. Provide recipes and attributes in a data base
  2. Based on 'cdo expr' and 'cdo cmor', script fragments can be created

cdo expr can evaluate expressions

cdo cmor can convert to CMIP6 standard

Advantages of a webbased application:

  • One data base always available
  • Shared work
  • Logs of every change with account info
