-====== PMIP3 DB access ======
+====== Accessing PMIP3-CMIP5 data ======
-[  [[.:status|DB status]] ] - [ [[.:expected|Expected experiments]] ]
+===== The fastest shortcut =====
-===== PMIP3 and CMIP5 =====
+The PMIP3-CMIP5 data is distributed through the //ESGF nodes//. You can go directly to any ESGF node and start searching/downloading data. Each node will let you search the content of all the other nodes, so you only need to pick up the node that is closest to you
-Depending on its type (see the tables in [[.:status|DB status]] for more details), the PMIP3 data is distributed between the CMIP5 and the PMIP3 DB:
+  * [[https://esgf-node.ipsl.upmc.fr/|IPSL node - France]]
+  * [[https://esgf-node.llnl.gov/|PCMDI node - USA]]
+  * ... links to the other nodes are available on the IPSL and PCMDI nodes
-  * PMIP3 data in the CMIP5 database: CMIP5 paleo experiments (midHolocene, lgm and past1000) performed by official CMIP5 participants
+===== The steps you should follow =====
-  * PMIP3 data in the PMIP3 database:
+<note tip>The steps listed below are //under development//\\ \\ You should read them, and you can find useful additional information in {{:pmip3:database:usingesgf_jyp_130618_v6.pdf|}}\\ (these slides were used in an internal LSCE meeting to introduce PMIP3-CMIP5 and the ESGF portal)</note>
-    * CMIP5 paleo experiments performed by non-CMIP5 participants: midHolocene, lgm and past1000 **AND** piControl and 1pctCO2 experiments
-    * Other paleo experiments (non-CMIP5 experiments) performed by the different groups: plioMIP, last interglacial experiments, Holocene experiments...
-===== Accessing the data =====
+  - [[pmip3:database:access_details#standard_variable_names|Find out the names of the variables you need]]
+  - [[pmip3:database:access_details#esgf_p2p_fe|Locate the closest ESGF P2P Front-End]]
+  - Determine which required variables are actually available in the database
-===== Useful tips =====
+  - Create a wget script
+  - Create a CMIP5 account
+  - Download the data
+  - [[pmip3:database:using|Use the data!]]
