Dataset problem: Missing support for NorCPM1 and NorESM1-F datasets

[TomasTorsvik]

Describe the dataset issue
A clear and concise description of what the problem with the data is is. Here are some guidelines that you can use
right out the box by filling in the blanks (note that, if needed we will assist you with writing a fix; also note that
if the problem is with a CMIP6 dataset, we will alert the ESGF and/or the model developers for them to fix the problem
in the long run; fixes for CMIP5 by the model developers are no longer possible):

• Data file has been changed by you in any way (if you answer yes the issue will be void and closed, we are not
  supporting custom-made datasets that present problems, it is your resposability to fix those problems):
• Project (CMIP5/CMIP6/OBS/obs4mips/etc):
• Full dataset description (fill out as many as you know, please):
  • dataset: NorCPM1 and NorESM1-F
  • experiment:
  • mip:
  • grid:
  • type:
  • version:
  • tier:
  • variable used:
  • data version:
• Problems encountered (please describe what the actual problems are: e.g. wrong standard name, issue with dimensions):

I tried to run the standard recipe_python.yml example, but replaced the dataset with NorCPM1 CMIP6. I got an error that the 'institute' key was missing for the dataset. I can run the example if I add the institute in this way

• {dataset: NorCPM1, project: CMIP6, exp: historical, ensemble: r1i1p1f1, grid: gn, institute: NCC}

The NorCPM1 and NorESM1-F models were included in PCMDI/cmip6-cmor-tables
https://github.com/PCMDI/cmip6-cmor-tables/blob/68db67793ad3eb4cbd06e51a5206ae61f92c2b8d/Tables/CMIP6_CV.json#L2068-L2095

but seem to be missing in the CMIP6_CV.json file provided by ESMValCore. If you include entries for NorCPM1 and NorESM1-F, would it then be possible to use the datasets without specifying the 'institute' key? If so, could you please include these entries?

• Pointer to existing copy of data on ESGF node (it would be very useful if you could provide a physical
  fullpath to the file(s) that are causing the problem, e.g. on CEDA Jasmin or DKRZ):
• Other notes and mentions:

Assign the right people
If you are already a member of the ESMValTool GitHub project, please assign Valeriu Predoi (valeriupredoi) and
Klaus Zimmermann (zklaus) to the issue. They will then check the issue raised and propagate it further to the
data model developers.

Please attach

• The recipe that you are trying to run, you can find a copy in the run directory in the output directory
• The main_log_debug.txt file, this can also be found in the run directory in the output directory
• Attach a text file with the output of ncdump -h /path/to/file.nc

main_log_debug.txt

recipe_python.yml.txt

Cheers 🍺

Best wishes,

Thanks for reporting the problem. I have created an issue to update the tables: #704. Note that we always use released versions of the CMOR tables, so it is only to be expected that our copy is a bit behind, but there has been a new release recently, so we need to update.

Cheers for reporting @TomasTorsvik - assuming this has been fixed by updaing the CMOR CV in #704 I am going to close this, please reopen if necessary 👍
