Dear Karl and Bob
We are concerned with the ease of use of CMIP5 data by various
communities of users. Hence, we are considering providing some variables
both on atmospheric and oceanic grids.
For some variables/tables, we know that the ESG infrastructure will be
OK : for instance, we can publish two additional variables "tos" and
"sic" in table Amon (and on the atmospheric grid), and the gateways will
allow to discover it (we checked that already, with variable "albedo"
and table 3hr). They are not in resquested output, and will not add much
load to the ESG system (except for the disk space on our datanode)
However, for those tables which do already mix realms, like the daily
table, the solution is not that simple ; I assume that mixing files of
the same realm with various grids in a single table would cause a mess
in the system. We are here again concerned with variables "sic" and "tos"
Can you see a way forward ?
