How are the CM2.0 model output files arranged in directories on the GFDL Data Portal? |
On the GFDL Data Portal, CM2.0 model output is stored as netCDF files in directories that are arranged as follows under http://nomads.gfdl.noaa.gov/dods-data/gfdl_cm2_0/ ../gfdl_cm2_0/{GfdlExperimentName}/pp/{component}/{ts:static:av}/... Possible values for gfdl_cm2_0 GfdlExperimentName: CM2Q_Control-1860_d2 CM2Q_Control-1990_e2 CM2Q-d2_1861-2000-AllForc_h1 CM2Q-d2_1861-2000-AllForc_h2 CM2Q-d2_1861-2000-AllForc_h3 CM2Q-d2_1PctTo2x_i1 CM2Q-d2_1PctTo4x_j1 CM2Q-h1_SresA1B_x2 CM2Q-h1_SresA2_w2 CM2Q-h1_SresB1_y2 CM2Q-h1_Stable-2000_s2 The GFDL CM2.0 experiment names can be associated with the IPCC/PCMDI experiment names by referring to the table on the CM2.0 experiments and metadata web page. The meaning of pp is post-processed, indicating that the raw output of the model has been processed to get it into the form being served. Possible values for component: atmos ice_interp ice_tripolar land ocean_interp ocean_tripolar Model output files for the ocean and sea ice model components are available either on the native, tripolar grid used by those model components or interpolated onto a more regular, latitude x longitude grid. The horizontal grid locations of tripolar vs interp only differ north of ~65N. Meanings of the directory names ts, static and av:
