====== Accessing PMIP3-CMIP5 data ======
===== The fastest shortcut =====
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
* [[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
===== The steps you should follow =====
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)
- [[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
- Create a wget script
- Create a CMIP5 account
- Download the data
