<font face="Times New Roman">Dear all,<br>
<br>
I noticed that as of 15:30 PDT on 7/22/11 that different ESG
gateways are serving different amounts of CMIP5 data:<br>
<br>
gateway # of CMIP5 datasets available<br>
---------- -----------------------------------<br>
PCMDI 6973<br>
BADC 6973<br>
DKRZ 6973<br>
NCI 6974 (why 1 more than the above????)<br>
JPL 6457 (missing CSIRO-MK3-3 model)<br>
NCAR 6457 </font><font face="Times New Roman">(missing
CSIRO-MK3-3 model)</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman">NERSC 6458 </font><font
face="Times New Roman">(missing CSIRO-MK3-3 model)</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman">ORNL 0<br>
<br>
I noticed several other problems:<br>
<br>
1. NERSC gateway: the search categories are not correctly
populated.<br>
<br>
2. NCI gateway: If you click on CMIP5 in search category
"project" you get an error message instead of a list of datasets.<br>
Error: Failed to convert property value of type [java.lang.String]
to required type [int] for property limit; nested exception is
java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: ""<br>
If you then click on CSIRO-Mk3-6-0 in the "model" category, you
get 516 datasets returned, which is proper behavior. Curiously,
if you then click on "any model" you get the complete CMIP5 list
of datasets, as you should have when you previously got the error
message. <br>
<br>
3. NCAR gateway: CMIP5/IPCC AR5 appears as one of the "projects"
(along with "cmip5"). This is confusing. We want users seeking
CMIP5 data to go to cmip5 and not get distracted by CMIP5/IPCC
AR5. Please remove project CMIP5/IPCC AR5.<br>
<br>
4. There are inconsistencies among the gateways in rendering the
list of models that appear under the "model" search category. A
common problem is that the word "model" appears before some of the
model names on some of the gateways (but not others). Also there
are other minor differences (e.g., lower case in the place of
uppercase acronyms). We want users to get used to the "official"
CMIP5 names, which they should use in publications. These
official names can differ slightly from the names that appear in
the filenames. The official model name is supposed to have been
recorded in each file as a global attribute called "model_id".
From information sent to me my the groups, following official
model names should appear in the search list (or if this is not
possible, the name of the model as recorded in each filename
should be used (sorry that sometimes more than 1 model appears in
a table cell):<br>
<br>
Official model_id model name appearing in filename<br>

I have not confirmed that model_id is necessarily consistent with
the names in the first column, nor that the filenames are
consistent with the 2nd column. If there are inconsistencies, I
would like to hear about them. <br>
<br>
Because of the problems above (other than 4), the CMIP5 website
now (temporarily) directs researchers to only the PCMDI, BADC, and
DKRZ gateways. Only at these sites is both the search engine
working o.k. and all the output from CMIP5 can be seen. We don't
want to direct users to sites where they will encounter problems
or be unable to see some of the CMIP5 output.<br>
