To comply with scientific journals' (i.g., AGU's) publication data policy, the authors should have their data publicly available at approved data centers. For E3SM papers, ANL has a service called Petrel, which is a large filesystem attached to a Globus DTN and LCRC, and we have set a public directory that's served over HTTPS for publication data curation purpose.The space has a 100TB limit and it is not designated to store simulation data, please only include data that are pertinent to the publication.
Step-by-step guide to transfer data to the public directory via Petrel
- Pack your data (including data file, scripts, etc...) into a tar file with file name AuthorName_JournalName_Year.tar. It is recommended to document vital information of the files, for instance, brief description to the files, publication citation, a named link to the tar file, a listing of the files, etc. and keep a copy of the document withing the tar file.
- Transfer your data through Globus:
- Login to globus at https://app.globus.org/file-manager
- Fill in the Endpoint name in 'Collection' box. Use 'NERSC DTN' if your tar file is stored at NERSC. Use your NERSC credential to access your directory and select your file
- To transfer to via Petrel, fill in 'petrel#e3sm' as Endpoint to transfer data. Select /publication
- Start transfer
- After the transfer is done, select the file and hit 'get link' for a sharable link for others to access the data. Note that anything stored in the publication directory is publicly available at https://dabdceba-6d04-11e5-ba46-22000b92c6ec.e.globus.org/publications/<YOUR_FILE_NAME> so only put things there that you intend to share with the public.
