init_cmip6_index {epwshiftr}

Build CMIP6 experiment output file index

Description

init_cmip6_index() will search the CMIP6 model output file using esgf_query() , return a data.table::data.table() containing the actual NetCDF file url to download, and store it into user data directory for future use.
