CFS: NCEP NOMAD server

Plots, Data, Points of Contact

The following table list several data sets. By clicking on the appropriate command, you can (1) make plots, (2) FTP the files to your computer -- slice, dice and subset large files or (3) obtain documentation or or (4) use the DODS(OPeN-DAP)/GDS server to get data values directly from our matrix of holdings. At this time, some options are not available (N/A).
