<br>
Bob Drach is on vacation, so I'll ask my question to this list.<br>
<br>
There is a model_id stored as a global attribute in the CMIP5
netCDF files. This name is (typically) passed to CMOR which
simply writes it to the files. The name is also used by CMOR to
construct filenames and directory names, but it first removes
characters forbidden by the CMIP5 specs. For example, the
model_id=BCC-CSM1.1 is changed to BCC-CSM1-1 in file and directory
names.<br>
<br>
My question is: If a group published a bunch of data with
model_id=CSIRO-Mk3-6-0 and then published additional data with
CSIRO-Mk3.6.0, would the ESG publisher or related software get
confused? Note that the model name appearing in filenames and
directory structures is not changed in going from 3-6-0 to 3.6.0.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Karl<br>
