Drslib is a Python library for processing the 5th Climate Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) Data Reference Syntax (DRS). It includes API-level code for working with DRS components, algorithms for decuding DRS components from incomplete information and a command-line tool for manipulating data files into the recommended DRS directory structure.It has been developed by the Centre for Environmental Data Archival as part of the ESG Federation.
