Steps to take to receive FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC data:

1) From the COSMIC home page:  http://www.cosmic.ucar.edu/
scroll down to the 'CDAAC Data Access (COSMIC) [Sign Up]' link on the left navigation bar.

2) Follow this link to the FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC Data Distribution Policy, then click on the 'Data Use Agreement' button.  Note the option for LDM (3b).  Select “Agree” (at bottom of page) if you accept the agreement, and then complete the form.  Make sure to select the 'LDM' check box.

3) You will be contacted to collect necessary information:  your LDM client machine's IP address or host name and what file types are needed. 

4) Your information will then be added to our LDM configuration files at which time data is available to be requested by your LDM.

5) Add a request for an EXP data feed from cosmic-io-cosmic.ucar.edu to your LDM configuration and restart your LDM.

6) Data may take up to ten minutes to arrive, so verify data reception with your LDM.
