Working with the installed recipesΒΆ
Although ESMValTool can be used just to simplify the management of data and the creation of your own analysis code, one of its main strengths is the continuously growing set of diagnostics and metrics that it directly provides to the user. These metrics and diagnostics are provided as a set of preconfigured recipes that users can run or customize for their own analysis. The latest list of available recipes can be found here.
In order to make the management of these installed recipes easier, ESMValTool
provides the recipes
command group with utilities that help the users in
discovering and customizing the provided recipes.
The first command in this group allows users to get the complete list of installed recipes printed to the console:
esmvaltool recipes list
If the user then wants to explore any one of this recipes, they can be printed using the following command
esmvaltool recipes show recipe_name.yml
And finally, to get a local copy that can then be customized and run, users can use the following command
esmvaltool recipes get recipe_name.yml
