Hi @siligam,

You can find some example runs of AWI-ESM to use for your initial exploration here:

• /albedo/work/user/pgierz/SciComp/Tutorials/AWIESM_Basics/experiments/basic-001
• /albedo/work/user/pgierz/SciComp/Tutorials/AWIESM_Basics/experiments/basic-002
• /albedo/work/user/pgierz/SciComp/Tutorials/AWIESM_Basics/experiments/branchoff-002

Outputs are always in the subfolder outdata and are organized by model component (e.g. echam, fesom)

The configuration that esm-tools passes around is in the subfolder config, such as basic-001/config/basic-001_finished_config.yaml

Basically I could imagine for a first exploration that you have a workflow as this (roughly):

import xarray as xr
import pathlib

expid = "basic-001"
exp_path = pathlib.Path("/albedo/work/user/pgierz/SciComp/Tutorials/AWIESM_Basics/experiments/basic-001")

ds = xr.open_dataset(f"{exp_path}/outdata/fesom/*thetao*nc")

Which then would become something like:

... #  imports

catalog = stac.open_catalog(...)  # Not a real function, this is just brainstorming

ds = catalog.load("thetao")  # Again, not real -- I have no idea what sort of methods catalog object provides in reality
