Data and Image Downloads
Web Browsing Utility
Our Archive Browser utility can be used to display data and images for both Active Sites and Inactive Sites, from which content can be manually saved to disk.
File Downloads
Selective data and image file downloads can be performed through HTTPS indexing in a web browser.
Batch data and image file downloads can be performed using an FTP client configured with PSL's anonymous FTP server information:
| PROMPT> | ftp ftp1.psl.noaa.gov |
| User> | anonymous |
| Password> | "e-mail address" |
| FTPprompt> | cd psd2/data/realtime |
Following the base-path location, /psd2/data/realtime, the directory heirarchy has a specific naming structure based on the following data and time elements:
| LEVEL 1: | Instrument |
| LEVEL 2: | DataType |
| LEVEL 3: | SiteID |
| LEVEL 4: | Year |
| LEVEL 5: | DayOfYear |
The available instruments, data types, sites, times, and data descriptions/formats can be accessed through the Site Inventory - Map utility. The path data elements (levels 1-3) for selected data and image types is as follows:
