Add ORA-S4

New Dataset

This is a proposal for adding the following new dataset to git.geomar.de/data: ORA-S4

Data Set Details

Please, fill in the details for the proposed data set:

Short Name

      ORA-S4

Short Description

Resolution: (ORCA1_Z42): Horizontal 1°x1° with equatorial refinement (0.3). 42 vertical levels, about 10m-15m level thickness in upper 200m. Data assimilated: Temperature and Salinity profiles from the EN3 v2a XBT bias corrected database (1958-2009), including XBT, CTD, Argo, Mooring, and from realtime GTS thereafter. Along track altimeter sea level anomalies and global trends from AVISO. SST and sea-ice are from the ERA-40 archive prior to November 1981, from the NCEP OI v2 weekly product (1981 until December 2009) and , and from OSTIA analysis from January 2010 onwards.The SST and sea-ice information is used to constrain the upper level ocean temperature via a newtonian relaxation scheme.

Rendering Checklist

Whoever will be assigned to this issue, they can use the following checklist to go through the process of rendering the data-set step by step.

DSET="Void-data"                           # replace 'Void-data' with short name given above

  • Data Set Details are complete

  • GIT-Project is created under https://git.geomar.de/data/$DSET (create new data/ project)

  • data_repo_renderer is installed (web, git+ssh)

  • control folder created, e.g.

    ```shell
mkdir -p ~/data_repo/$DSET
```

  • meta.yaml edited appropriately (e.g. copy template from snippet $66 (download)

    ```shell
vi ~/data_repo/$DSET/meta.yaml
```

  • data_repo_renderer ran successfully

    ```shell
ZSTORE=path_with_enough_space
data_repo_renderer --prefix $ZSTORE/$DSET ~/data_repo/$DSET/meta.yaml
```

  • ./init.sh ran successfully

    ```shell
cd $ZSTORE/$DSET
./init.sh
```

  • ./update.sh ran successfully

    ```shell
./update.sh
```

  • The master branch is replaced with v1.x.x

  • The latest v?.x.x is set to default branch

  • The data repository is added to data/tools/inventory
