CMIP6 Controlled vocabulary minimum requirements.
- CMOR 3 required a new Controlled Vocabulary file which must contains 4 mandatory keys for CMIP6.
- institutions_ids: A dictionary of of registered institution IDs with a description.
- source_ids: A dictionary of registered source IDS (model) with a
specificdescription. - experiment_ids: A dictionary of experiment_ids (CMIP6) pointing to a dictionary of
specificmetadata. - grid_labels: A dictionary of grid labels(gr, gn, …) pointing to a native_resolution for the selected grid.
