where are tables saved for experiments? #197

Open StephenGriffies opened 7 years ago

I must be overlooking something, but I am unable to find the tables for the various experiments. Where are they saved on this site? As they are small files, it would be useful to include them in the repo.

Do you mean the diag_table, field_table, etc? They are downloaded externally using the data/get_exp_data.py script.

(But personally I think all text files should be put in the repository!)

Yes, I mean these tables you mention. I agree with your view.

We should be able to look at these tables on Github and have full version control. Tables are a key element in any experiment that need to be examined online. They are small files and should be online viewable.

I understand the need to have big data files stored off of Github. But the tables should be part of Github.

Additionally, we should have all the namelist files saved as part of Github, in addition to the field_table, diag_table, data_table, etc.

We should also have the fms.out files versioned on Github.

I note that for the MOM6 repository, all of these files are versioned an available on Github. The only files not available are the larger data files and output files.
