Greetings Estani!

I think the IDV is capable of viewing the CMIP5 data, but I am not sure about 
browsing the ESG repository. I'm trying to get an account on the ESG-PCMDI 
gateway at LLNL for testing purposes, but their registration seems to be down 
(looks like they are updating their portal?). I once asked a user if it would 
be possible to authenticate in the browser, and then browse the data repository 
via IDV, but they never returned my message. This is something we can look into 
for sure, but it'll be much easier once I have an account.

I hope all is well in Hamburg - I visited the wind tunnel group a few years ago 
(very nice people).

Cheers!

Sean
