Trouble loading data through intake catalog

Hi,

Probably a bit late on all this, but I am trying to use an old notebook of mine to remake a video, but can’t load the data.
I have launched a Jupyter lab session through ARE using these instructions: How do I use it? — ACCESS-NRI Intake catalog documentation
And tried loading data through:

But then I get this error:

Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thank you

The following code worked for me on conda env analysis3-25.10:

import warnings
# Suppress warnings for these docs
warnings.filterwarnings("ignore") 

from distributed import Client
client = Client(threads_per_worker=1)
client.dashboard_link

import intake
catalog = intake.cat.access_nri

ds = catalog['01deg_jra55v140_iaf_cycle3'].search(variable = 'temp', frequency = '1mon').to_dask()

Hi @ribeirosantosn:

Thanks for starting this topic! @CharlesTurner is going to look into this for you and he’ll get back to you in due course!

Cheers,

Most commonly we see these sort of issues when people don’t have the right projects enabled in their ARE session. I’ve also been able to load the dataset fine - are you able to confirm that you have cj50 added to your storage flags?

To do so, you can run:

from access_nri_intake.ipython_magic import check_storage_enabled

and then in the cell where you try to load the data:

%%check_storage_enabled
ds = catalog['01deg_jra55v140_iaf_cycle3'].search(variable = 'temp', frequency = '1mon').to_dask()

And let me know if that tells you anything?

Failing that, could you paste in the full stack trace from the failure here - I know it will be pretty long.

Cheers!

Hi Charles,

Thank you. Sure enough, in spite of my extensive list on storage I forgot to add which to me was the obvious one (x77). Thank you!

Glad it was a simple fix!
