Hello Abdullah, 

Unidata is not an archive center, we focus on the delivery of real time 
atmospheric data.

I suspect NOAA is your best resource for this data. If you have found the data, 
but are having difficulty dissecting it into a usable form, perhaps we can help 
with that. Is the original file a netCDF file? ..if so, there are many 
utilities for temporal and spatial sub-setting that could make your analysis 
easier to do

Hello Abdullah, 

Unidata is not an archive center, we focus on the real time delivery of 
atmospheric data.

If you are having difficulty managing the data, perhaps we could help with 
that. Is the original data file a netCDF file?...if so, we have many utilities 
for temporal and spatial sub-setting that may make your analysis easier. Please 
let us know if we can help in that area. 

NOAA will be your best resource for this data, and i would first check here:

Sounds like an interesting project.

Cheers, 

Jeff
