An alternative to NCEP FTP server is the HTTP access via the NCDC NOMADS
server. This seems to be a archive rather than real-time, but it may help
everyone patch up datasets. Looks line in some cases, the archive goes
back pretty far. Enjoy.
The main index to the data portals is here:
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/nomads/data-avail.html
NCEP items can be found here: [Download option for HTTP]
http://nomads.ncdc.noaa.gov/data-access.html
NOMADS also features OPeNDAP access to the model datasets for those that
want to use the brilliant Unidata IDV program. ODC, ncBrowse, gradsdods
and THREDDS (THREDDS Data Viewer / Toolset; I affectionately call it TDV;
http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/projects/THREDDS/tech/index.html#TDV)
work for the most part.
