[Go-essp-tech] Status of Gateway 2.0 (another use case)

[Jennifer Adams]

Dear Colleagues, 
I have thought of another use case for the Gateway 2.0 and P2P developers to consider. 

Right now, I am diligently downloading CMIP5 data, gathering runs for a subset of experiements and variables, for all available models and ensemble members. I realize that not all modeling centers have submitted their data yet, so in a few months time, I will have to go back and fill in the gaps in my collection. At that point, I will have a list of experiments/variables/models/ensembles that I have already acquired, and I will need to search the available CMIP5 data for runs that I do not have. 

I know it is unfair to compare to the good old days of using wget to grab CMIP3 data via FTP from ftp-esg.ucllnl.org, but this particular use case used to be so easy … I would just rerun my single wget command and it would fill in the missing files in my collection automatically. 

Is there a syntax in the Gateway 2.0 and P2P search URLs that allows for a NOT? 
http://esg-datanode.jpl.nasa.gov/esg-search/wget?experiment=decadal1960&realm=atmos&time_frequency=month&variable=clt&model!=HadCM3

Any better ideas or plans for how to do this? 

--Jennifer
