Adding Datasets to CMEW

The easiest way to add datasets to CMEW is to clone an existing dataset in the Rose GUI and then edit the details. To do this:

  • Navigate to the CMEW directory, e.g.:

    cd CMEW/CMEW

  • Open the Rose GUI:

    rose edit

  • In the Rose GUI, click the triangle to the left of “suite conf” to expose a submenu.

  • Click the triangle to the left of “namelist” to expand the namelist sections.

  • Select the type of dataset you wish to add, e.g. “cmip6_datasets”.

  • Right-click an existing entry and select “Clone this section” from the pop-up menu.

An image of the Rose GUI showing the "add_datasets" app highlighted, and the "namelist" section of the app expanded, the cmip6_datasets section of the namelist selected, and a pop-up menu over the first entry.

  • Overwrite the details with those of the new dataset to be added.

Warning

Currently, the recipe “Radiation Budget” will not allow two datasets (such as both a CMIP6 dataset and a model development run) that share a common model ID (such as “HadGEM3-GC31-LL”) to be run in the same workflow.
