[tugiyo523]

Hi

I have successfully run the examples/recipe_python.yml
But for recipe_climwip_test_basic.yml, no plot results only run

main_log.txt

main_log_debug.txt

recipe_climwip_test_basic.txt

Any suggestions?

Hi @tugiyo523, thanks for your question. The error message suggests that the Tool can't find the ERA5 data needed to run the recipe: Missing data for native6: tas.

Would you have access to ERA5 data on the machine where you work? If not, you would need to download necessary ERA5 data beforehand and put them in the right directory structure. In that case, I would recommend to take a look at the era5cli tool to download ERA5 data. Once installed, you will need to use commands like era5cli monthly --variables <var_name> --startyear <YYYY> --endyear <YYYY>. The downloaded files should then be placed in the right directory structure like: ~/path_to_RAWOBS/Tier3/ERA5/v1/mon/tas for the era5_2m_temperature_YYYY_monthly.nc files. This will enable the Tool to find your local ERA5 data and "CMORize" data on-the-fly during the recipe run at it is done for data from the native6 project. You could take a look at our docs on native6 datasets here and configuration here.

Hi remi-kazeroni,
Thanks for your suggestions

Btw to which database ESMValTool will download ERA5 Tier3 ..?

To https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/cdsapp#!/home ?

[remi-kazeroni]

Yes, exactly. I would recommend taking a look at the docs for this tool: https://era5cli.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

[tugiyo523]

If I have ERA5 in this directory: '/mnt/data1/pr_era5_sea_1976-2005.nc'

And modify the recipe like this:

obs_data: &obs_data # for climwip performance metrics
#- {dataset: ERA5, project: native6, type: reanaly, version: '1', tier: 3}
#- {dataset: '/mnt/data1/pr_era5_sea_1976-2005.nc'} # remove the '#'
'
That's correct?

That would not work. ESMValTool is designed to work with input data organized given specific directory structures, not paths to data. Before trying to run the recipe, I would recommend to take a look at the tutorial on input data which explains how to set up the input data: https://esmvalgroup.github.io/ESMValTool_Tutorial/03-configuration/index.html
