Finding grid files on NCAR or NERSC systems

[pgoddard08]

Hello,
I need to find the grid for E3SMv2 output. I see in "Plotting E3SMv2 Output with UXarray", this path is used:
"grid_file = (
"/glade/campaign/cisl/vast/uxarray/data/e3sm_keeling/E3SM_grid/ne30pg2_grd.nc"
)

I don't have permissions for this path. How can I get the ne30pg2_grd.nc file? I have access both to NCAR and NERSC systems.
Thanks!
Paul

Thanks for the question. Where do you see it?

The files are presumably at NCAR somewhere and if one has an account, one can run the notebooks. But I agree with @pgoddard08 that it would be nice to host the files somewhere public so someone without an NCAR account can also run the notebooks.

Hi @pgoddard08

I can coordinate with @rytam2 to make these files readable on the the NCAR systems.

Storing these publicly in the cloud somewhere as @xylar mentioned is something we've been wanted to do for a while now. If you have any suggestions, we'd be more than happy to look into it.

E3SM has a public data server and that seems like the easiest place to put these particular files. If someone puts them on a Google drive or lets me know who from E3SM supplied them in the first place, I can find an appropriate place to host them.

I tried to find this run in our documentation and didn't see is so I don't think I'll be able to track down these files myself.

Great, thanks @philipc2 and @xylar . I really appreciate your help. Please let me know when these files are either readable on NCAR or housed somewhere for the general public. I've found such grids used for this example and used for general regridding difficult to find, so a public domain from the E3SM website would be ideal. Many thanks!
