Update the list of broken recipes for v2.11.0

[mo-gill]

We are at the "Update the list of broken recipes" step in the ESMValTool release process for v2.11.0, see #3565 (comment).

Using information from the broken recipe list and #3484: Recipes with issues discovered during the 2.10.0 release test runs and noting:

recipe_check_obs.yml

• Variable information from recipes overwritten by cmor table info when deriving custom variables ESMValCore#1388 has been resolved, but according to the web pages, this recipe has been failing since v2.3.0, so there are no plots available for comparison. The tests need to be rerun following the completion of Missing data on DKRZ for recipe_check_obs.yml #3660 / Fix recipe_check_obs to be aligned with DKRZ #3673.

recipe_julia.yml

• recipe_julia.yml produces unusable plot #2595 is still open, and the v2.11.0rc1 plot still contains no data. This recipe has now been broken since at least v2.5.0, see the v2.5.0 plot. The broken recipe policy states:

  If a recipe continues to be broken for three releases of the ESMValTool (about one year) and no recipe maintainer could be found during this time, the affected recipe and diagnostics will be retired. This means the recipe and diagnostic code are removed from the ESMValTool main branch by the release manager and thus will not be included in future releases.

  Should this recipe now be retired?

recipe_seaice_drift.yml

• recipe_seaice_drift.yml no longer runs #3243 has been resolved and recipe_seaice_drift.yml now runs successfully, but the available plots are different, see the v2.8.0 plots and the v2.11.0rc1 plots; it is ok to remove this recipe from the list of broken recipes?

recipe_psyplot.yml

• recipe_psyplot.yml now runs successfully, and the available plots look comparable, see the v2.9.0 plots and the v2.11.0rc1 plots, so I will remove this recipe from the list of broken recipes and recipe_psyplot.yml does not run with shapely 2 #3483 should be closed.

... the broken recipe list should be updated to:

@flicj191, @rbeucher, given you both were involved in #3243, would it be possible for you to comment on the above, please? 😊

It was fixed so it runs, maybe need an author or scientific review for the different plots.
As some python packages were updated since it was authored and involved projection transformations so calculations could be somehow truncated from previous I'm guessing. So I think its ok to remove from broken recipes.

recipe_julia.yml: Should this recipe now be retired?

Let's keep it, it is the example recipe for Julia diagnostics. It does need an update though. It looks like the Julia software stack is finally starting to become useful for climate data: https://github.com/mauro3/Julia-intro-for-geoscience-EGU2024/blob/main/notebooks/geo-ecosystem.ipynb
