Be able to auto generate IPCC tables

WHO: Mark

During CMIP5, a bunch of IPCC tables were generated through a laborious manual process. We should have a tool to auto generate these for CMIP6.

Again we need a document to specify this. Is there anything written down already? If not then it is not feasible to have this issue associated with v0.9.4 at the end of May.

This should be a focus of next face to face meeting in May.

[SebastienDenvil]

So we should remove this issues from the 0.9.4 milestone. We need a block of issues awaiting assignment to milestone having due date explicitly mentioned.

This is being handled by Eric and David now ...

We will be able to autogenerate the model forcing agents table (cf. table 12.1 in AR5) by collecting the information during the model documentation stage. This is done with the bepoke questions asked in https://github.com/ES-DOC/cmip6-specializations-toplevel/blob/master/toplevel_radiative_forcings.py. Each model realm will have an overview set of properties (e.g. https://github.com/ES-DOC/cmip6-specializations-ocean/blob/master/ocean_short_table.json) which can be automatically generated for any set of models.
