<font face="Times New Roman">The numbers listed in the table
(default view) show how many "datasets" have been produced from
each model for each experiment. Multiple datasets are produced
for each simulation. Even if you click on the selection button at
the top of the page and select a single CMOR table, this won't
definitively tell you how many realizations of a simulation have
been performed by each model. [For example, there are two
categories of output -- output1 and output2 -- so the data
produced from one CMOR table can be split across two datasets.
Also, I'm not sure whether the counting eliminates replicated
versions of the datasets (the same data can be found at more than
one data node).<br>
<br>
The bottom line is that this table should only be used to infer
which models have reported (some) results from at least one
realization. The dataset count isn't a particularly useful
quantity for a user. <br>
<br>
As for csv, json, etc., we could find this out if there is
interest.<br>
<br>
best regards,<br>

<div>Is the data in <a moz-do-not-send="true"

as csv, json or via a web-service. If so then I think that it
would be interesting to start creating some visualisations
using: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://mbostock.github.com/d3/ex/">http://mbostock.github.com/d3/ex/</a>
Such visualisations could also be useful for public
dissemination purposes particularly if accompanied by metrics
such as dataset size.</div>
