CORDEX-CMIP6 storage requirements estimation #40
Description
In order to secure the archival of CMIP6-driven simulations in ESGF, we first need to estimate the volume of data that we will be producing. An accurate estimate is difficult due to the dependence of the compression rates on the different variables and even on the different models as the effective model resolution affects compression.
A very rough estimate should, in principle, be easily extracted by combining the information in:
- https://github.com/WCRP-CORDEX/domain-tables/blob/main/CORDEX-CMIP5_rotated_grids.csv (nlon x nlat)
- https://github.com/WCRP-CORDEX/simulation-status/blob/main/CMIP6_downscaling_plans.csv (number of simulations planned and length -- depending on eval/hist/ssp)
- https://github.com/WCRP-CORDEX/data-request-table/blob/main/data-request/dreq_default.csv (number and frequency of variables)
