Error accessing GLADE CMIP5 catalog

[edwardpmorris]

Hi, i get an error when trying to open the GLADE CMIP5 catalog, maybe the catalog_file path in the JSON needs updating? :

import intake
import intake_esm
url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NCAR/intake-esm-datastore/master/catalogs/glade-cmip5.json"
col = intake.open_esm_datastore(url)
col

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/glade/collections/cmip/catalog/intake-esm-datastore/catalogs/glade-cmip5.csv.gz'

Thank you for opening the issue, @edwardpmorris! Are you running this on one of the NCAR's machines i.e. Casper/DAV or Cheyenne?

I was able to access the file via casper, and it looks like permissions are okay on file (and the catalogs/ directory):

$ ls -l /glade/collections/cmip/catalog/intake-esm-datastore/catalogs/glade-cmip5.csv.gz
-rw-rw-r-- 1 abanihi cmipdata 3189244 Oct 21 11:28 /glade/collections/cmip/catalog/intake-esm-datastore/catalogs/glade-cmip5.csv.gz

No was running examples in CoLab. I came to the example via pangeo, began following the intake-esm python package documentation examples (CMIP6), looked in the repo. for more catalogs, and wanted to take a look at the CMIP5 netcdf catalog. In the long run I would like to do calculations with CMIP5 data. Sorry I did not realise that it needs to be run from a specific machine. Guess I should have read up more, my mistake, happy to close this.

If you still want to explore the CMIP5 netcdf catalog (without loading the data) outside of NCAR's machines, you can download the json file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NCAR/intake-esm-datastore/master/catalogs/glade-cmip5.json to your system and update the catalog_file entry with https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NCAR/intake-esm-datastore/master/catalogs/glade-cmip5.json:

https://github.com/NCAR/intake-esm-datastore/blob/0cee23e72a089ace65bc6b7fa5ae999bd77ddc61/catalogs/glade-cmip5.json#L5

Once this is done, running

import intake
url = "PATH_TO_glade-cmip5.json"
col = intake.open_esm_datastore(url)

should work.
