• Experimental, using GrADS-DODS Server version 1.1 beta 5

 
• Serving our NCEP Reanalysis archive

 
• 148 aggregated time series (rep. 7,992 files)


- Daily average and 4x daily Reanalysis files are stored one variable and one year per file

- Storing all data in one file impractical because of the size

- Each variable (64 in total at two temporal resolutions) is a 54 year time series stored in 54 files each

- A GrADS Data Descriptor File (DDF) that synthesizes a time axis that spans the 54 year range is created for each variable and used by the GDS as a data object

• 215 individual NetCDF files (derived statistics, time-invariant variables)


- Monthly means are stored with the entire time series in one file, as are other derived statistics

• 363 total Data Objects

• Up since October 1^st, 2001

 
• Also available via an experimental LAS server

- Includes all of the daily averaged Reanalysis data

- Some data "aggregated" in time via GDS and some via the Unidata Catalog/Aggregation server

- Experimental alternative to simpler internal "aggregation" available through Ferret
