Reference data#

Every observational dataset the diagnostics require, and where it comes from. This page is generated from the providers' data requirements, so it cannot drift.

Variables are the union of everything the diagnostics ask a dataset for; a dataset does not necessarily publish all of them. Run ref doctor to check which of these a deployment is missing.

Not carried by any registry, so it has to be fetched from the ESGF archive (see Download required datasets).
