Month: 2025-03 Key accomplishments: - Ozone CMORizer Modernization (ESMValTool): Migrated ESACCI-OZONE CMORIZER to Python-based processing and CDS data download. Replaced the NCL formatter with a Python version and updated the downloader to CDS API for improved access and processing of ozone datasets. Commit 0ffdd6751e1fadb75e44f54fb9b4aed9db2d2291 (Update ESACCI-OZONE CMORizer(formatter and downloader) for REF (#3899)). Major bugs fixed: - No separate major bugs fixed this month; modernization focused on feature delivery with improved reliability of data access. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Faster, more reliable ozone data preparation workflows, with improved reproducibility and maintainability. This enables downstream models and analyses to run on up-to-date ozone data with fewer manual steps. - Strengthened data infrastructure by adopting Python-based processing and CDS API integration, reducing dependency on legacy tools and improving long-term sustainability. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Python-based data processing, CDS data API integration, CMORizer modernization, and end-to-end data workflow refactor. Strong version-control discipline ensuring traceability of feature work.
