Based on paper:

Righi, M., Andela, B., Eyring, V., Lauer, A., Predoi, V., Schlund, M., Vegas-Regidor, J., Bock, L., Brötz, B., de Mora, L., Diblen, F., Dreyer, L., Drost, N., Earnshaw, P., Hassler, B., Koldunov, N., Little, B., Loosveldt Tomas, S., and Zimmermann, K.: Earth System Model Evaluation Tool (ESMValTool) v2.0 – technical overview, Geosci. Model Dev., 13, 1179–1199, https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-13-1179-2020, 2020.

https://gmd.copernicus.org/articles/13/1179/2020/

The observational datasets are grouped in tiers, depending on their availability: Tier 1 (for obs4mips and ana4mips datasets), Tier 2 (for other freely available datasets), and Tier 3 (for restricted datasets, i.e., datasets which require a registration to be downloaded or that can only be obtained upon request by the respective authors). An overview of the Tier 2 and Tier 3 datasets for which a CMORizing script is available in ESMValTool v2.0 is given in Table 3.

Observational and reanalysis products in the standard CF or CMOR format are available via the obs4mips (https://esgf-node.llnl.gov/projects/obs4mips/, last access: 20 February 2020) and ana4mips (https://esgf.nccs.nasa.gov/projects/ana4mips/, last access: 20 February 2020) projects, respectively (see also Teixeira et al., 2014). Their use is strongly recommended, when possible.

At NCI:Some data is already available in qv56 However, this is not up to date. We need to check and request updates.

An ESMValTool data pool for Tier 1 and Tier 2 would probably be better though.

@flicj191 Let's discuss how we can get Tier1 and Tier2 in the ct11 collection.

@flicj191 Could you compare what we have in /g/data/kj13/datasets/esmvaltool/obsdata-v2 to what is available in /g/data/qv56 please?
