[DATA REQUEST] CMIP6-era Regional Climate Model data produced with CCAM for the Australian Climate Service

[rbeucher]

Description of the data product

Australasian climate change projections based on the Conformal Cubic Atmospheric Model (CCAM) at 12.5km resolution following the experiment design and domain of CORDEX-CMIP6 for the Australian Climate Service. All CORE and Tier1 CORDEX variables are available with some limited Tier2 output. Simulations run from 1950-2099 for SSP126 and SSP370 for seven downscaled CMIP6 GCMs and ERA5 (1979-2021).

Existing CMIP6 Intake-ESM catalog, so no new builder should be required. However, there isn't a metadata.yaml for this experiment (https://access-nri-intake-catalog.readthedocs.io/en/latest/management/building.html#metadata-yaml-files).

@rbeucher who would be the best person to add one for this experiment?

[marc-white]

Disregard the above, I'll build a YAML myself.

I have generated a YAML for this dataset. Please confirm is suitable:

Otherwise looks good

@charles-turner-1 , give it a try and merge if you think it is good to go.

Waiting on hq89 membership so I can write tests
