Data Catalog

Birdhouse bundles a number of cataloguing services that allow you to search for data and add data to the catalog.

Birdhouse Catalogue Search

this is no longer maintained and may be removed in a future version

The pavicssearch service closely mimics the API for the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) search. The search fields (or facets) include author, category, cf_standard_name, experiment, frequency, institute, model, project, source, subject, title, units, variable and variable_long_name. The search results are returned in a json file and include the URL to download the file or access it through DAP.

Examples

The request pavicsearch&DataInputs=constraints=model:CRCM4,experiment:rcp85 will search for all files that are part of the RCP8.5 experiment and based on the CRCM4 model.
