pp-motif
The MOTIF post-processor
pp-motif is intended to provide a simple interface for
modelling groups to produce CF-compliant output data files for
incorporation into the MOTIF or PMIP2 databases.
It uses the CMOR library
to write CF-compliant netCDF files, using the PMIP2 CMOR configuration tables to control the
metadata incorporated into the files, and to maintain project-wide
consistency of file formats.
pp-motif consists of two main parts, a model-independent wrapper and
infrastructure, and a model-dependent part that deals with extracting
data for particular variables from a model's native output
files. Adapting pp-motif to a new model requires the implementation of
five routines for initialisation, extraction of model axis and unit
information and extraction of model data time slices.
This release is an alpha release for people to have a look at, since
it supports only the output formats used by myself in working with the
FOAM/LPJ model, and it is not up to date with the latest versions of
the CMOR configuration tables. Also, the documentation is very scanty,
and more work is needed.
Another release is anticipated soon, which will be fully consistent
with the CMOR configuration tables on this site.
