Survey of usage of diagnostic tool for Earth system model evaluation
Researchers often use ad-hoc computer scripts to analyse and evaluate their model simulation data. This often leads to redundant work, when other tools may already provide some (or all) of the functionality. Using such widely used tools will also make your data FAIR (Findabilty, Accessibility, Interoperability and Reusability). One such tool is ESMValTool, which is a tool for understanding and evaluating Earth System Models (ESM). The  ESMValTool provides a collection of diagnostics for analysing different ESM models. Main focus is the CMIP output data which can be easily downloaded and analysed using this tool. Additionally, the tool is designed to allow easy addition of new diagnostics by providing basic functionality to handle the ESM data.

In ESMValTool diagnostics are commonly called recipes in the tool. A diagnostic can be anything: comparison of model versus observations, calculation of a number based on the analysis of the simulation data, bias map or just a map of data. We at NeIC-NICEST2 (https://neic.no/nicest2/) are interested to know how widely the ESMValTool is used by Nordic researchers, as well as to support implementing existing analysis scripts as new recipes in ESMValTool.

Name: *
In which institute are you working: *
Do you use ESMValTool *
Which diagnostics have you used? If possible, please provide a link to an ad-hoc diagnostic (github, zenodo, paper, etc.) or the name of an ESMValTool recipe if relevant.
The NICEST2 project can support making ESMValTool diagnostics from existing codes and/or ideas. In this case,  have you done analysis in your publications that you would be interested to share for implementation on ESMValTool? If you do, please elaborate what kind of analysis or diagnostics you have. This can help your research become more visible (and cited) by making it more easily reproducible. Remember to add your email at the end of the form!
Nordic ESM diagnostics group
The Nordic ESM diagnostics group which is used for communication and collaboration within Nordics on the Earth System Modelling.  The group is open to everyone. There you can discuss about diagnostics for Earth System Models, including ESMValTool but not restricted to it. Group can relay information from ESMValTool but not only (such as training, meeting, interesting papers, etc.). It is mostly (at least initially) meant to network/exchange within the Nordic Climate community. Eventually, if there is an interest, this community can organize (probably subject to future funding) annual meet-up or online coffee discussions, etc.
I agree to be added to the Nordic ESM diagnostics group email list (expected amount of emails: one per month) *
Required
Email.  Your email will be saved only if you join the diagnostic group  or you share diagnostics with the project:
Respondent's data protection information
In case of any questions please contact Tommi Bergman (Tommi.bergman(at)fmi.fi). Data gathered here will be stored until 31 May 2023 (until the end of the NICEST2 project). Information on this form is used to contact respondent in order to:
- to add shared tool in ESMValTool (only if  respondent is interested)
- to send information about Earth system Modelling diagnostics events/meet-up in the Nordics ( 6 emails per year; in case respondent is willing to join the group)
