Short summary

The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) stores an enormous amount of climate data spread across millions of files in data centres all over the world. Accessing and working with this scientific information is quite complex. This work presents ESGF Virtual Aggregation, an approach that combines data from different sources into a format that is ready for analysis straightaway.
