The following email has been circulated to "cmip-users@llnl.gov".

Dear ESGF Community:

My apologize if you receive this message twice through different mailing lists.

You are being contacted because we believe you may have accessed data served by the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) (e.g., CMIP5, Obs4MIPs, CORDEX, etc.). As you may know, the ESGF has been undergoing an overhaul for the past several months so access to the CMIP5 data and other data products has been limited. Some of you have asked to be informed when the ESGF would start serving data again, so the attached letter explains what is now available and the changes made to ESGF.

In the future you might expect to receive similar information perhaps a couple of times a year. If you do not want to receive emails of this kind, please let us know so that we can remove you from the mailing list.

For more information pertaining to ESGF, please read our latest February 2016 ESGF annual conference report:

Thank you for using ESGF and we hope to continue to serve the community in delivering current and future data products.

Best regards,

Dean N. Williams

ESGF Executive Committee, Chair
