<br>
I'm glad to see you making this effort. It's a lot of work, but a lot<br>
of good can come form it! Putting the materials on-line is a<br>
no-brainer, as many people who would like to be there, just can't make<br>
it for various reasons.<br>
<br>
For example, when we did this last year for MERRA (Arlindo was a huge<br>
contributor), we showed some neat examples of GDS serverside scripting<br>
and also regridding (making MERRA 1/2 degree data match NCEP Gaussian<br>
grid for differences or support existing routines). We found many of<br>
the participants were not aware or the serverside capability.<br>
<br>
We also turned some of the MERRA workshop materials into Recipes on<br>
the GrADS cookbook. The workshop presentations are available:<br>
<a href="http://gmao.gsfc.nasa.gov/research/merra/presentations/" target="_blank">http://gmao.gsfc.nasa.gov/research/merra/presentations/</a><br>
<br>
But also, the local data and all scripts we used are available on<br>
anonymous ftp:<br>
<a href="ftp://gmaoftp.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/papers/mikeb/MERRA_Workshop/" target="_blank">ftp://gmaoftp.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/papers/mikeb/MERRA_Workshop/</a><br>
<br>
At the time, we only had a few years of data, but now 1979 through<br>
2007 are all online.<br>
<br>
Best wishes for a successful workshop (and have fun with it too)!!!<br>
