Archive Acquisition
By a process often involving mystical elementsshrouded in mystery, you may learn of the need to acquire a simulation archive. You may hear voices indicating a confluence page, managed by a simulation project/group, detailing the runs conducted in a cloud of arcane verbiage, from which you must locate and decipher the following key treasure items
Campaign | Presently one of { BCG-v1, CRYO-v1, DECK-v1, HR-v1 }, although new campaigns are expected to appear |
|---|---|
Model | Presently one of { 1_0, 1_1, 1_1_ECA, 1_2, 1_2_1, 1_3 }, although new models are expected to appear |
Experiment(s) | Consulting tea leaves, burnt entrails, or the principals involved in conducting the simulations is recommended here. Do not expect the experiment name to support human comprehension in favor of compactness. Allow only the special characters { _ - } (underscore and hyphen) besides alphanumeric. |
Ensemble | Usually “ens1”, although “ens2” through “ens5” have appeared in the night sky. These should be embedded in the archive name, when ens[n] > ens1You may find “ensemble” cleverly embedded in the experiment name (e.g. Historical-H3, Projection-P5). These are generally excised from the experiment name in favor of an explicit “ensemble” variable assignment. |
Archive Path(s) | This should be the NERSC HPSS path(s) to the zstash-formatted archive(s) associated with the four elements above. Take note of the archive_path_leaf_directory_name(s). |

On the other hand, if the tar-paths are equal, but it seems that variant filenames are found, there are both benign and difficult cases. A benign case exists where the files may have differing generation-dates, but are intended to be part of a a single finalized run, as in
