As of June 3, 2013, THREDDS Data Server (TDS) version 4.2 will no longer be in use on Unidata's servers. This is important because many of the variable names in all GRIB files have been changed in TDS 4.3. This affects almost all the model data served at Unidata.
As previously described in this
post, the Unidata Program Center's THREDDS Data Server
(TDS) using the domain name
"motherlode.ucar.edu
" will be upgraded to use
TDS version 4.3 at this time. Since late
March, a TDS version 4.3 server using the domain name
"thredds.ucar.edu
" has been in operation. The
domain name "motherlode.ucar.edu
" will not work
for TDS access after August 1, 2013. (Other
motherlode
access methods will continue to work
as they currently do.)
