Problem
We want to understand the file naming conventions of G5NR products
Solution
The standard generic complete name for G5NR products appear as
c1440_NR.collection.timestamp.nc4
where
c1440_NR
- the c1440 token indicates the resolution of the cubed-sphere grid. 14402 is the number of grid points in each face of the cubed-sphere. NR stands for Nature Run.
collection
- The operational GEOS-5 data are organized into file collections that contain fields with common characteristics. However, computational considerations required that 3D collections have a single variable in them. Collection names are of the form
- freq_dims_group_HV
- where the four attributes (freq,dims,group,HV) are:
- freq: time-independent (const), instantaneous (instF), time-average (tavgF), diurnally time-averaged (tdavF) where F indicates the frequency or averaging interval and can be one of the following:
- 30mn = every 30 minutes
- 01hr = hourly
- 01mo = monthly
- The tdavF files typically contain monthly diurnal files, meaning, monthly means for
- The operational GEOS-5 data are organized into file collections that contain fields with common characteristics. However, computational considerations required that 3D collections have a single variable in them. Collection names are of the form
each hour of the day: 0 UTC, 1 UTC, …, 23UTC.
dims: 2d for collections with only 2-dimensional fields or 3d for collections with a mix of 2- and 3-dimensional fields.
group: A short mnemonic for the type of fields in the collection, or the variable name for single-variable collections.
HV: Horizontal and Vertical grid.
