I can shed some light on one of the gaps: the GISS-E2-R piControl
files actually contain TWO control runs! One side of the gap is one
control run, and the other side of the gap is the other control
run. I cut-and-pasted a message from Ken Lo about this, at the
bottom of this message.<br>

<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;">Dear
All,</span></div>
<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" style="font-size: 14px; ">ata files that I had grabbed are no
longer listed on the gateway, even though the version number
is the same. An example is </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Courier;

<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"><br>
</span></div>
<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>

Dear Jeff Painter,

Years 3331 to 3630 of the control run are meant to be compared with
<br>
historicalMisc (p1), while years 3981 to 4530 are meant to be
compared
<br>
with historical, historicalMisc (p109), historicalGHG, historicalNat
<br>
and rcp runs (all p1 except indicated otherwise). The appropriate
years

for comparison are written in the branch time of the metadata of
each
