Running dr2xml

Once filled-in the previous two dictionaries of settings, dr2xml is simply executed by:

  1. importing the appropriate module from dr2xml:

from dr2xml import generate_file_defs

  1. setting the paths to your local copy of CMIP6 CVs:

my_cvspath=<My-CMIP6CVs-Rep>

  1. generating file_def for one of the context defined in the settings, here “nemo”:

generate_file_defs(lab_and_model_settings, simulation_settings, year=2000,context='nemo',
                   printout=True, cvs_path=my_cvspath)

where year is an optional argument (default is None) that allows to take into account the current simulated year in the Data Request filtering.

Note

To configure and run dr2xml, you can either use the iPython notebook DR2xml.ipynb available in dr2xml/ repository or the classical Python script DR2xml.py available in dr2xml/doc/.
