"While checking on these gaps, I noticed that not all variables in

<br>
For some datasets, we requested different periods for different
variables. For example, for frequency="day" only a subset of the
variables were requested for all times and experiments. See<br>
one of the links under the "CMIP5 Model Output" heading of the
"guide": <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://cmip-pcmdi.llnl.gov/cmip5/guide_to_cmip5.html">http://cmip-pcmdi.llnl.gov/cmip5/guide_to_cmip5.html</a><br>

at the "day" table.<br>
<br>
Not sure whether this covers all the cases you've found.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>

<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;">I
have a GrADS script that creates descriptor files for CMIP5
data, and it has uncovered some gaps in the date strings of
files that belong to an atomic data set. I have checked the
ESGF gateways for all the datasets listed below and I can
confirm that these files are missing for some variables. I
haven't given the variable names, because I have only checked
the subset of variables that are of interest to me and that
may not be a complete list. If the specific var names that I
checked would be useful, I can provide them. While checking on
these gaps, I noticed that not all variables in an atomic
dataset span the same time range … an inconsistency that
doesn't quite make sense to me. I also noticed that in some
cases, d</span><span class="Apple-style-span"

longer listed on the gateway, even though the version number
is the same. An example is </span><span

<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;">The
gaps put these data into the "not quite usable" category. I
wasn't sure whether to send this to the helpdesk or the forum
or both; in the end I am just posting here.</span></div>
