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:
