intake-esm is a data cataloging utility built on top of intake, pandas, and xarray See https://intake-esm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html This repo uses intake-esm to create catalogs of NCAR model output to facilitate analysis and evaluation. It aims to bring together local and remote ESM out repositories to, for example, compare climate sensitivites or look at the impact of resolution or chemistry on configurations of the NCAR WACCM model.
There are a variety of software licenses to choose from. The default for this repository is the MIT License which is short and to the point.
