files not found

[jakesteinberg]

when defining variables and specifying a desired frequency as:
variables = {
RequestedVariable("so", "ocean_annual_z"),
}

no files are returned or found in diag.files. This issue arises when testing on multiple experiments (odiv-2, odiv-515, odiv-516) ... search on archive confirms these files exist. Seems to arise for all queries that request "annual" or "annual_z" frequencies. The same requests have no issue if switching to "month" frequencies.

This could be happening because the default behavior is to search for monthly data. Please try explicitly defining the frequency for annual data:

RequestedVariable("so", "ocean_annual_z", frequency="yearly")

Additionally, the MOC template provides a more concrete example of loading annual ocean data.
