<br>
The current list of official institute and model names can be
found at:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://cmip-pcmdi.llnl.gov/cmip5/docs/CMIP5_modeling_groups.pdf">http://cmip-pcmdi.llnl.gov/cmip5/docs/CMIP5_modeling_groups.pdf</a><br>
<br>
The list of CMIP5 experiment names can be found at:<br>
</font><font face="Times New Roman"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://cmip-pcmdi.llnl.gov/cmip5/docs/cmip5_data_reference_Appendix1-1.pdf">http://cmip-pcmdi.llnl.gov/cmip5/docs/cmip5_data_reference_Appendix1-1.pdf</a></font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman"><br>
These are accessible from several points in the CMIP5 website.<br>
<br>
The first document will be updated once I hear from the FGOALS and
the ACCESS modeling contacts to reflect their desires.<br>
<br>
We have asked the modeling groups to record these names as global
attributes (model_id and institute_id) in the netCDF files, but
sometimes they have instead recorded slight variants on the
official names. (for example using lower case in place of upper
case). Whatever is passed as a model_id to CMOR will be recorded
without modification, but CMOR also creates a file name, where
certain "forbidden" characters -- e.g., ".", "(", and ")" -- in
the model_id get replaced by a hyphen. Thus, the model_id may
appear in modified form in the filename. <br>
<br>
When datasets are published, I think by default the model_id gets
transcribed from the files to the database (and catalog??). The
publisher can, however, override the default with some other model
identifier, but I'm not sure about this.<br>
<br>
Because we can't easily enforce that modeling groups be consistent
in specification of model_id, inevitably there may be
discrepancies between the table we've posted on the web (see
above) and what is found in the netCDF files. Also, we can't
prevent folks from overriding the default value used in the ESG
publication process, so I think inconsistencies can again be
introduced. I don't know whether/how the Metafor questionnaire
enforces consistency.<br>
<br>
I don't know how big a problem all this is, but the differences,
if any, I think are minor.<br>
<br>
Please let me know if you have suggestions for *easy* ways to
enforce better consistency. [Also, if anyone cares to clarify
how the model_id's get into ESG and the search engine, that might
be helpful.]<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Karl<br>

<div>HI Everyone,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>One other key area of conformity is to ensure that the model
name on this spreadsheet is also what is in the CMIP5
questionnaire. This is required to make the data/metadata
connection work effeciently. </div>

As others have suggested there are a number of places
where your model and institute names get posted. The
process starts when you record/update this information on
the attached spreadsheet. </font>Please pay special
attention in the model and institute i.d.'s to whether
characters are upper or lower case. You should make every
effort to make sure the global attributes -- model_id and
institute_id -- in the netCDF file are consistent with what
you enter on the spreadsheets.<br>
<br>
<font face="Times New Roman">Please don't modify anything on
the spreadsheets, other than the information in the yellow
boxes on the ACCESS1.0 spreadsheet. There is no need to
reenter the information on the "groups" spreadsheet.</font><br>
<br>
Once you return these spreadsheets, I'll make sure all
references on our website and in the ESG are consistent with
your entries.<br>
<br>
thanks and best regards,<br>

<pre>Hi All,
We are supposed to publish data for ACCESS model. The original
institute name for this model was CAWCR, but it has been decided that
the modeling institute should be CSIRO-BOM. Is there anything that ESGF
needs to do for this?
Regards
