Hello, I am a new Honours student at the Australian National University. I’m trying to build a new intake datastore for a new panantarctic simulation. I have been trying to follow this tutorial: cosima-recipes/Tutorials/Make_Your_Own_Intake_Datastore.ipynb at main · COSIMA/cosima-recipes · GitHub , …

I’ll take a look at this when Gadi comes back online - I’m assuming the standard Mom6 builder that Marc built should work for this. @KZCurtin , as of right now you will need to install the access-nri-intake-catalog package directly into a virtual environment in order to get access to the features th…

Hi Katja @CharlesTurner and @marc.white have done most of the work to make a builder for these configurations but they are not in the hh5 conda analysis environment. If panant-01-zstar-v13 is ok for you, then you can open it seperately like this. from intake import open_esm_datastore datastore =…

Just flagging that I’ve opened an issue over at COSIMA recipes to incorporate the solution we find here into the existing COSIMA Make_Your_Own_Intake_Datastore tutorial in case anyone has time to update that.

I’m planning to do that as soon as we get this feature into release - I’ll cross link the issues so it doesn’t get lost - thanks for opening it!

@KZCurtin - I’ve just tested the solution I posted above and it should work out of the box for you - the output of build-esm-datastore should additionally give you some instructions on how to open the built datastore, eg for me: $ build-esm-datastore --builder Mom6Builder --expt-dir /g/data/ik11/o…

Great, thank you all so much for the help!

This has worked for me, thank you so much Charles! One question though: as new years are run of the experiment, do we need to do the build again? Or does it update automatically?

Unfortunate, the esm-datastores are static files, so once they’re built, they don’t change. With that in mind though, we made the build-esm-datastore tool to be able to account for this - if you run the same command again, build-esm-datastore will: Check the files in the datastore against the file…

Yep, that’s perfect! We are extending that run, so I’ll keep in mind the updating the datastore as I go along. Thank you!

@JuliaN , if you’re running with Payu, you could add a userscript to automatically update the datastore at the end of each run - see the docs here . (Note, future ACCESS-NRI configuration releases will include this by default)

@KZCurtin , @JuliaN are you able to mark working solutions with the little checkbox so future users can find them more easily? Thanks!
