Add TropFlux CMORiser

[rbeucher]

Description

• Closes Add CMORiser for TropFlux #3862

This PR introduces CMORizers for the TropFlux dataset to enable the processing of its variables for use within ESMValTool.

Global Attributes
Dataset ID: TROPFLUX
Project ID: OBS6
Tier: 2
Version: v1
Modeling Realm: reanaly
Source: https://incois.gov.in/tropflux/
Reference: tropflux

Variables CMORised
The following variables, with their corresponding CMOR tables, are included in this implementation:

ts (Amon): Derived from t2m
tos (Omon): Derived from sst
hfls (Lmon/CFmon): Derived from lhf
rlut (Amon): Derived from lwr
tau (Omon): Derived from tauy
rsds (Amon): Derived from swr

TropFlux provides air-sea flux estimates over the tropics and is widely used for evaluating tropical climate processes like ENSO. Since the CLIVAR package already utilizes TropFlux for ENSO diagnostics, including it in ESMValTool ensures compatibility and allows meaningful cross-framework comparisons.

cheers @rbeucher looking good from a technical stand point - will approve when you add the dataset to the check obs recipe 😁

Edits and add some variables when I was checking, and found tauu looks in opposite direction

[rbeucher]

I believe this is good to go @flicj191 ?

[flicj191]

Clean up of updated variables and adding messages to the log file from the formatter

[rbeucher]

Thanks @flicj191

Hi @valeriupredoi, would you mind having a quick look? This should be good to go. Thanks!

[valeriupredoi]

looking good! Maybe just add a pointer to the iris dox about the new Future? Cheers guys 🍺

[valeriupredoi]

also, how is this data gonna live? Will we have to add it to the data pool or you guys doing that? Ping @axel-lauer on this one as well

[rbeucher]

Thanks @valeriupredoi We have a copy of the data in the NCI ESMValTool data pool. I can't speak for DKRZ. It's difficult as we don't have a clear data maintenance plan across facilities.

gotcha! Cheers @rbeucher - I was suspecting that was the case, great work here, and many thanks 🍻
