CORDEX-CMIP6 CV

Controlled Vocabulary (CV) for use in CORDEX.

This repository contains tables of controlled vocabulary for the cmorization of CORDEX datasets in the CMIP6 era. The actual CORDEX-CMIP6_CV.json in the cordex cmor table repository is created from a combination of all tables in this repository. There are two events that would trigger an update of the CORDEX_CV.json cmor table:

• a manual trigger of the update-cv github action
• a push event in this repo that updates one of the CV tables

The aim is to have the CORDEX-CMIP6_CV.json table updated when, e.g., a new RCM model is registered in the source_id.json table or a new institution_id is required.

Registering Institutions, Models, or requesting changes to CVs:

To register your institution or model, please submit an issue using these forms:

• New institution_id
• New source_id (i.e. model)

These forms will automatically create a pull request, where further details can be discussed. Models must not be distinguished by the institution_id. Do not register a new source_id if the same model or method configuration is already registered by other institution. Just request to add your institution_id to the list of the corresponding source_id.

To request changes in any other CV use a blank issue with a meaningful title. E.g. source_type: add YOURNEWTYPE or source_id: update MODEL123A further_info_url

The CVs build on logic that is described in the CORDEX-CMIP6 Archiving Specifications for Dynamical Downscaling document.

The controlled vocabularies for CORDEX-CMIP6 will be augmented (e.g., as new institution_ids and source_ids are registered), but there should be no changes in the existing vocabulary that would impair searches of and access to already published data or that would in any way invalidate published data.
