UM Ancillary files database/documentation (We need your help! 🆘)

First, the files I use are:

  • The CMIP6 files in Tilo’s personal directories. /g/data/p66/txz599/data/ancil/CMIP6
  • The payu standard ancil files in directories like /g/data/access/payu/access-esm/input/historical/atmosphere.

I can’t be much help for providing information on the ancil files, but I have a question: Can you make clear what are/are not ancil files? Are land-use change data ancil files? There are a lot of land-use change data in /g/data/p66/txz599/data/luc_* that are necessary for doing many of the standard CMIP simulations, but are not explicitly needed by the UM.
