EURO-CORDEX compliance check

Collecting issues related to EURO-CORDEX-CMIP6 datasets at JSC-CORDEX.

This is a dedicated repository that addresses dataset compliance issues at JSC-CORDEX. These are mainly related to the CF Conventions (CF-1.11) and the CORDEX-CMIP6 archive specifications. Please ensure that your datasets have no high-priority issues. Otherwise, they may not be suitable for evaluation analyses and could cause problems when being published to ESGF.

This repository publishes a dashboard and an equivalent excel report. The excel report contains one sheet per institution_id while the dashboard allows for more filter options.

Running the compliance checks locally (conda)

It is recommended to run the checks yourself before uploading data to jsc-cordex. Create and activate a minimal environment:

conda create -n cordex-cc -c conda-forge python=3.11 compliance-checker cc-plugin-cc6
conda activate cordex-cc

Run CF-1.11 and CC6 checks on a NetCDF file:

compliance-checker -t cf:1.11 -t cc6 path/to/your_file.nc
