# What is the “ACCESS-NRI Replicated Datasets for Climate Model Evaluation” data collection about?
The primary purpose of the data collection is to provide observational datasets in a format that the evaluation frameworks supported by ACCESS-NRI can use.
This includes a range of datasets from **obs4mips** , **ana4mips** and some reanalysis products.
ACCESS-NRI currently supports 2 main frameworks:
- [ILAMB / IOMB](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/ilamb-workflow-v1-0-launches-today-here-is-what-you-need-to-know/1600/3)
- [ESMValTool](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/esmvaltool-workflow-v1-0-launches-today-here-is-what-you-need-to-know/1599/6)
You can [request access to the ACCESS-NRI collection](https://my.nci.org.au/mancini/project/ct11/join).
Data is stored in `/g/data/ct11` on GADI.
We welcome contributions and feedback through the ACCESS-Hive forum. You can also request help through [support](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/access-help-and-support/908).
We thank the NCI data collection team for their support.
## ILAMB compatible datasets
ACCESS-NRI provides a curated set of observation and reanalysis data products from various sources in [CF-compliant](http://cfconventions.org/), netCDF4 file formats which can be used for model benchmarking via [ILAMB](https://github.com/rubisco-sfa/ILAMB). [See NCI catalog entry](https://geonetwork.nci.org.au/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/f3131_4569_6054_8046)
The ILAMB datasets cover the following variables :

### New Dataset Release: ESMValTool Observation Datasets
Just adding the official NCI announcement for the records:
7 February at 11:03 AM
Dear ct11 data users,
We are pleased to announce a new release as part of the Australian Earth-System Simulator National Research Infrastructure (ACCESS-NRI) Replicated Datasets. The new release represents a replica of the ESMValTool Observation Datasets (Tier 1 and Tier 2). Detailed guidance is available via the [ESMValTool documentation](https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.esmvaltool.org%2Fen%2Flatest%2Finput.html%23supported-datasets-for-which-a-cmorizer-script-is-available&data=05%7C02%7Cromain.beucher%40anu.edu.au%7Cbb4d8dcabd2c43969dce08dc27703f6d%7Ce37d725cab5c46249ae5f0533e486437%7C0%7C0%7C638428610262812818%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=NDrH2LkksJJC6hCdKrHvlO23nhNrfaeu6dTi9tGrH94%3D&reserved=0).

## New dataset: Australian Gridded Climate Data (AGCD) added to ESMValTool ct11 collection
_AGCD version 2 is the Bureau of Meteorology’s official dataset for climate analyses covering analysis of monthly rainfall.
Time coverage: Site-based data are used to provide gridded climate data at the monthly timescale for rainfall (1900+).
For more information see [NCI record](https://dx.doi.org/10.25914/6009600304b02)_
AGCD is an ESMValTool Tier 2 dataset.
To add to recipe for variable `pr`:
`- {project: OBS6, dataset: AGCD, mip: Amon, tier: 2, type: ground, version: v2-0-1}`
Any questions and support please use this forum and post a topic.

# New Sub-collection: ESMValTool ERA5 Daily Datasets
This is a prerelease dataset and consists of selected ERA5 variables presented at daily frequencies.
The original hourly data from the “ERA5 hourly data on single levels” and “ERA5 hourly data on pressure levels” collections have been transformed into daily means using the ESMValTool (v2.10) Python package.
Both the datasets and their associated metadata are provided in a format compatible with the ESMValTool Python package, which is supported by ACCESS-NRI.
