How to obtain data from the NCAR Mass Store system to run LITTLE_R with?

  • You need to have an NCAR account to access most of these datasets.
    • You can either obtain data from NCAR by applying for an NCAR computing account. If you have an NCAR computing account, you will be able to access all these datasets without additional charge.
    • OR you can purchasing data from the Data Support Section of NCAR's Scientific Computing Division.

If you have an NCAR account, you can use the "fetch" script to download data automatically.

This script isavailable in the directory:

~mesouser/MM5V3/Util

fetch-little_r-data.csh

Download ADP (ON29) format data and convert to little_r format

Where to find Observational Data

The free data is in ADP (or ON29) format.

Once you have the ADP data on your machine, you can use the script adp_to_little-r.csh (inside that latest FETCH TAR file - after Jan 21, 2004) to convert it to LITTLE_R input format
