ECMWF Reanalysis-15

[Roland Schweitzer <Roland.Schweitzer@xxxxxxxx>]

Thought this might be of interest to some of the folks in THREDDS 
community...


Parties who might be interested in ECMWF Reanalysis-15 data in netCDF
format,

The NOAA-CIRES Climate Diagnostics Center (CDC), has been permitted to 
distribute the portion of the ERA-15 data set that we had converted to 
netCDF format. This includes both pressure-level and surface data, all 
on a 2.5 degree grid. It is only available through our web-based 
plotting and subsetting pages, due to ECMWF's requirement of a positive 
checkoff on their terms prior to the data being made available. Thus, 
after a subset is selected, a temporary netCDF file is constructed in a 
directory that is periodically purged, and that file is available for 
anonymous FTP. The documenting web page, with links to the 
plotting/subsetting page, is at: 
http://www.cdc.noaa.gov/cdc/data.ecmwf.reanalysis-15.html

There are two FAQ answers ("Why do I get a blank page when I request a 
subset?" and "What goes into the plot (from the subset and plot web 
page) when I request many levels and many timesteps?") that are relevant 
to obtaining data from us in this manner:
