check_input_data is a script in CIMEROOT/scripts/Tools.

$ ./check_input_data --help
usage: check_input_data [-h] [-d] [-v] [-s] [--protocol PROTOCOL]
                        [--server SERVER] [-i INPUT_DATA_ROOT]
                        [--data-list-dir DATA_LIST_DIR] [--download]
                        [--chksum]

This script determines if the required data files for your case exist on local disk in the appropriate subdirectory of
$DIN_LOC_ROOT. It automatically downloads missing data required for your simulation.

It is recommended that users on a given system share a common $DIN_LOC_ROOT directory to avoid duplication on
disk of large amounts of input data. You may need to talk to your system administrator in order to set this up.

This script should be run from $CASEROOT.

To verify the presence of required data use:
   ./check_input_data

To obtain missing datasets from the input data server(s) use:
   ./check_input_data --download

This script is automatically called by the case control system, when the case is built and submitted.
So manual usage of this script is optional.

optional arguments:
