Enhanced Intake-ESM Catalog Demo

This Jupyter Notebook compares the original Intake-ESM Catalog with an enhanced catalog that includes additional attributes. Both catalogs are an inventory of the NCAR Community Earth System Model (CESM) Large Ensemble (LENS) data hosted on AWS S3 (doi:10.26024/wt24-5j82).

Table: The single Zarr store for daily “FLNS” data from “RCP85” experiment.

The Problem

Do all potential users know that “FLNS” is a CESM-specific abbreviation for “Net longwave flux at surface”? How would a novice user find out, other than by finding separate documentation, or by opening a Zarr store in the hopes that the long name might be recorded there? How do we address the fact that every climate model code seems to have a different, non-standard name for all the variables, thus making multi-source research needlessly difficult?

Enhanced Intake-ESM Catalog

By adding additional columns to the Intake-ESM catalog, we should be able to improve semantic interoperability and provide potentially useful information to the users.

Table: First few lines of the enhanced catalog, listing of the same information as the original catalog as well as the long name of each variable and an indication of whether each variable is 2D or 3D.

ISSUE: The long names arenotCF Standard Names, but rather are those documented at http://www.cgd.ucar.edu/ccr/strandwg/CESM-CAM5-BGC_LENS_fields.html. For interoperability, the long_name column should be replaced by a cf_name column and possibly an attribute column to disambiguate if needed.

Substring matches

ISSUE: The current version of intake-esm search() function requires an exact full-string case-sensitive match of the long_name. (This has been reported as an issue at https://github.com/NCAR/cesm-lens-aws/issues/48)

Demonstrate a work-around: find all variables with a particular substring in the long name

Table(s): Information about all matching datasets

ISSUE: The case-insensitive substring matching is not integrated into intake-esm, so it is not clear whether resulting search results can be passed directly to Xarray to read data.

Other attributes

Other columns in the enhanced catalog may be useful. For example, the dimensionality column enables us to list all data from the ocean component that is 3D.

Table: List of all 3D ocean datasets

Spatiotemporal filtering

  • If there were both regional and global data available (e.g., LENS and NA-CORDEX data for the same variable, both listed in same catalog), some type of coverage indicator (or columns for bounding box edges) could be listed.

  • Temporal extent in LENS is conveyed by the experiment (HIST, 20C, etc) but this is imprecise and requires external documentation. We have added start/end columns to the catalog, but intake-esm currently does not have built-in functionality to filter based on time.

Table: *List of all 3D ocean datasets with an end month of 2100 December. Note that because intake-esm currently requires an exact match this search would not find daily data with an end date of 2100 Dec 31.

TO DO

  • Add substring search capability to intake-esm.

  • Add simple temporal search capability to intake-esm.

  • Consider adding spatial attributes (and appropriate intake-esm support) once we have some regional data available.

  • Have some tables in this demo only list only variable and long name rather than every single frequency and experiment.
