Formatting tools
nco reformatting tools exist for all participating models.
(available on demand and some examples are put
<here)
We recommend nco
to handle variables in the netCDF files, eg to recompute and
rename data. (4 Byte per data / single precision )
We suggest further to use
CMOR
to rewrite model output prior to submitting results.
This has been first used in connection with the HTAP-AeroCom experiments.
See the HTAP model output specifications:
here.
CMOR requires tables containing project related information on experiments
and variables. The tables used for the HTAP experiments are to be found
<here.
We also suggest to use standard names
as netCDF attributes for unique identification of model parameters.
