Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

Greetings Galeonites:We need to decide on some sample netcdf files to use for the GALEON experiment.
Russ Rew has put together a nice page of sample files at http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/examples/files.htmlI think we should choose ones using CF conventions. Two that look good from my POV are:
1) http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/examples/tos_O1_2001-2002.ncThis is a simple time series (24 points) of monthly average lat/lon gridded sea surface temperature. It should be simple for most GIS clients to handle.
2) http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/examples/RUC.ncThis is a time series (2 points) having both 2D fields and 3D fields on pressure surfaces, as well as other vertical coordinates.This should be a good challenge for GIS to deal with.
You can download these files and poke around in them using the nj22 ToolsUI:http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/v2.2/webstart/index.html
Other visualizers and tools are listed at: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/software.html Any thoughts on using those two files, please post to this group. Thanks! John
