A 5 year sample of the CMIP6 ocean data has been setup on NERSC under /global/homes/s/sbaldwin/scratch/cmip_sample/CMIP6/CMIP/E3SM-Project/E3SM-1-0/piControl/r1i1p1f1/Omon
The raw ocn and sea-ice data have been set up at /global/homes/s/sbaldwin/scratch/cmip_sample/raw.
The sea-ice data is available alongside the rest of the data at /global/homes/s/sbaldwin/scratch/cmip_sample/CMIP6/CMIP/E3SM-Project/E3SM-1-0/piControl/r1i1p1f1/SImon

Not sure what the difference is.

17	timeMonthly_avg_dThreshMLD	mlotst		m	Ocean Mixed Layer Thickness Defined by Sigma T	ocean_mixed_layer_thickness_defined_by_sigma_t	No				NO	We do not actually have the variable requested. It is a density criterion based on a surface threshold of 0.125, we have a 10m threshold at 0.03. using dThreshMLD might be close

Luke Van Roekel (Unlicensed)	7/23/2019	yes and yes	the comparison did not take account the incorrect formula noted here.
