Short test versions of scientific recipes to check for backward compatibility.

Overview

These recipes are created to cover typical functionalities in the ESMValTool and allow to test them quickly. Each recipe should run less than 5 minutes to facilitate fast tests.

The recipe recipe_deangelis15nat_fig1_fast.yml calls the first diagnostic (deangelisf1b.py) from the original recipe recipe_deangelis15nat.yml. It can be run with CMIP5 and CMIP6 models for any duration. Several flux variables (W m^-2) and up to 6 different model experiments can be handled. Each variable needs to be given for each model experiment. The same experiments must be given for all models. For testing purpose it was reduce to two models, 3 experiments and one year.
