variable, it is necessary to define a name for it and to provide the
corresponding CMOR table. This is to guarantee the proper metadata definition

of the ESMValCore package. An example entry for CMIP6 looks like:

.. literalinclude:: ../../esmvalcore/cmor/tables/cmip6-custom/CMIP6_custom.json
:start-at: "asr": {
:end-at: },
:caption: The ``asr`` variable definition in the custom CMIP6 table at `esmvalcore/cmor/tables/cmip6/tables/cmip6-custom/CMIP6_custom.json <https://github.com/ESMValGroup/ESMValCore/blob/main/esmvalcore/cmor/tables/cmip6-custom/CMIP6_custom.json>`__.
