I think this is close to being ready.
The python makes netcdf files that my test recipe loads from the original hdf files.
Again I've had to make a custom CMOR table for this, the underlying frequency of being 15 days early on then becoming 8 days caused problems.
In the cmor table I have used a frequency of 'fx', this appears to cause the frequency check in ESMValCore to be skipped if I've understood it right.
