@jtmims @wrongkindofdoctor I have a CESM test catalog built for Dani to continue working on this, using the community builder we are building. I printed the data frame in the following notebook. How does it look to you/MDTF framework?

@jtmims The json and csv files are here.

And also at /home/a1r/tests/cesm-example1.json

Since this prelim test is only on 1 file, you won't be able to run a POD test, so just a quick visual inspection is good for now. Dani may be able to generate a catalog for a more expansive set for a POD test following this visual check

@aradhakrishnanGFDL I looked at the csv file, and it looks as though all the required columns are there for the MDTF!
