Allow esmvaltool to download when missing #156

Open sverhoeven opened 6 months ago

sverhoeven commented 6 months ago

We mount a dcache volume which contain climate data like era5. Esmvaltool can download climate data when missing. This needs creds described at https://docs.esmvaltool.org/projects/ESMValCore/en/latest/quickstart/configure.html#esgf-configuration

We could add central credentials or each user needs to set it up themselves. We should check if centralized creds are allowed.

esmvaltool cannot download era5 though, we have to do that ourselves. Sadly the climate data store is currently unusable.

No creditials are needed for some models, such as EC-Earth3. The default option is to never download, we should tell users to look at the configuration and set search_esgf: when_missing in the esmvaltool configuration. Or we change that setting in infra.
