CMOR 3.9.0

Features

• Added the functions cmor_set_quantize and cmor_set_zstandard for exposing the data quantization and Zstandard compression utilities of the netCDF library since version 4.9.0.
• MacOS arm64 builds for use on Apple silicon (M-series CPUs).

Bugfixes

• The attribute realm will not be written to files if it is not specified in the required_global_attributes of a controlled vocabulary.

Changes

• End of support for Python 3.8.
• Compatibility with the Numpy 2.0 C API.
• Use netCDF's default chunking rather than setting chunk size to 1 for coordinates/axis such as time to enhance performance of reading netCDF variables.

Closed Issues

• Exposing latest netcdf 4.9.x library functionality: quantize, zstandard (#725)
• arm64 build (#663)
• default realm = "REALM" is always written although not required by CV (#736)
• Numpy 2.0 compatibility issue (#742)
• Performance issues with small chunks (#601)

CMOR 3.8.0

CMOR 3.8.0 is the first release built to work natively with the mip-cmor-tables, CMIP6Plus_CVs, input4MIPs_CVs and obs4MIPs_CVs. The software has been generalized to allow more broad usage following the new CVs templates noted above.

Changes

• CMOR will throw an error if it processes a JSON file that contains null values. Used to avoid segfaults.
• When processing attributes in variable entries, any JSON list values will be converted into a space-separated lists string. Used for the dimensions and modeling_realm variable attributes.
• Modeling realm strings were being split by spaces and only had the first word found stored in the realm attribute of the file. This has been fixed by storing the whole realm string.
• The further_info_url attribute is no longer created automatically unless it is listed in the CV's required_global_attributes list.

Closed Issues

• updates for mip-cmor-tables (#709)
• CMOR segfaults with mip cmor tables and CMIP6Plus CV.json (#718)
• Remove unused attributes when processing CMIP6Plus datasets (#723)

CMOR 3.7.3

Changes

Bugfixes

• Fixed segmentation fault casued when the value for further_info_url in the user input is an empty string or only whitespace.
• Fixed implicit declaration compilation error in cmor.c.

Closed Issues

• #700 CMOR segfaults when further_info_url is specified as an empty or pure whitespace string
• #706 CMOR failure when attempting to write large volume of data
• #710 "call to undeclared function 'calculate_leadtime_coord'" error in recent Xcode/Clang build for OSX

• CMOR failed when doing multiple writes to a dataset with seasonal forecast time coordinates ('reftime' and 'leadtime'). Fixed by checking if the 'leadtime' coordinate already exists.

Closed Issues

• Multiple write bug

GitHub

CMOR 3.7.0

Features

• CMOR automatically sets attributes in a dataset using the registered data listed in a project CV's source_id entry (e.g. Tables/CMIP6_CVs.json or Tables/input4MIPs.json), reducing the input requirements from a user. This feature can be overridden by setting the attributes in the user input file (e.g. user_input.json).
• Added ability to write reftime and leadtime coordinates to datasets for forecast data.

Changes

• End of support for Python 3.6.
• CMOR now supports Python 3.10.
• The CCLRC license has been replaced with a BSD-3 license.
• Updated warning and error messages from retired listserv email address [email protected] to [email protected].
• Updated CMOR and CF versions listed in the Fortran wrapper.

Bugfixes

• PrePARE would crash if the experiment_id attribute is not present in a dataset. It will now check for the presence of experiment_id before further processing the dataset.
• PrePARE was generating errors when processing cell_methods values that contained multiple comments, which are substrings in parentheses embeded in the values. PrePARE can now handle cell_methods values containg mulitple comments.
• Fixed error caused by an error message exceeding the maximum string size when an attribute value cannot be validated with a list of values from the CV.
• Corrected typo in udunits initialization message.

Closed Issues

• Remove Python 3.6 build
• Issue with json-c and Python 3.6 builds
• implement lead time coordinate
• Illegal instruction error when region attribute is not found in the CV
