Tests are failing because

  1. the REF has not yet been updated for Update REF ENSO recipes for CMIP7 ESMValGroup/ESMValTool#4470 (esmvaltool/enso-basic-climatology diagnostic not configured for CMIP7 datasets #803)
  2. Make ozone diagnostic compatible with CMIP7 data #704 was merged before the required changes landed in ESMValTool

merged main back into this. The sea-ice diagnostic also changed

* origin/main:
  chore: clean up docs
  chore: cleanup
  docs(changelog): add fragment for 896
  chore(cmip7): regenerate the synthetic CMIP7 catalog
  fix(cmip7): derive the CMIP7 tracking_id from the instance_id
  refactor(cmip7): fold the extension rule into one helper
  refactor(cmip7): tighten the version bump after review
  docs(changelog): add fragment for 895
  fix(cmip7): extend historical runs on every calendar
  fix(cmip7): bump the version of fabricated CMIP7 test data
Three recipes were renamed upstream, so the pinned registry pointed at files that no longer
exist and provider setup failed with a 404.
Also refreshes the sea ice sensitivity hash, which changed in the same release.

For the ENSO diagnostic we are missing the TROPFLUX v2 and GPCP-Monthly-3-3.

We have v1 and 3.2 respectively via obs4MIPs

@Darwyn72 Any ideas? I couldn't find them on CEDA.

Otherwise @bouweandela could you upload them or otherwise point me to a file on levante

@lewisjared @bouweandela the East Metagrid (CEDA) and West Metagrid (ORNL) are not mirroring each other's holdings at present, there are still technical problems. GPCP-3-3 is on West TropfluxV2 has not been processed as yet. Felicity Chun at ACCESS-NRI was looking into this. The original data providers were going to give her access to the 'sst' and 'taux' files to process with CMOR, as the original datafile is too large. She is currently on holiday, so I will have to chase her next week - I'm not sure she was even given access to the files yet - I've not heard anything.

The GPCP-V3.3 data appears to have disappeared from ESGF, but I've uploaded the copy that we still had on Levante to s3://ref-obs4ref-public/ESMValTool/obs4MIPs/GPCP-V3.3. The TROPFLUX v2 data was stored in a scratch directory on Levante and has since been deleted. I suspect ACCESS NRI would still have a copy. @flicj191 or @rbeucher Would you be able to provide the data?

I spoke to Felicity Chun this morning and she has the CMORised files. We discussed about where to upload them. I suggested we put them on the CEDA Archive in the same folders as the current datasets. It would need the metadata sorting out on CEDA and for the files.

2. [Make ozone diagnostic compatible with CMIP7 data #704](https://github.com/Climate-REF/climate-ref/pull/704) was merged before the required changes landed in ESMValTool

@hb326 opened a PR in ESMValTool to add the corresponding recipe available to the main branch: ESMValGroup/ESMValTool#4604

@lewisjared @bouweandela, yes, I have the files that are used for the ESMValTool ENSO recipes. Do you need me to upload them somewhere specifcally or I can try to submit a delivery to the CEDA archive? I'm not sure where it would go from there.

@flicj191 If you upload them to Levante and let me know where they are, I can put them in the ESMValTool OBS dataset used by the REF.

Thanks @bouweandela ! I have copied them to /scratch/b/b382919/TROPFLUX

Thanks @flicj191! @lewisjared I've uploaded the files and added them to the registry. I'm not sure if the old version can be removed from the registry.
