<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hi all,<br><br>I have been trying to work with this Surface Metar data from the Thredds data server (http://thredds.ucar.edu/thredds/catalog/nws/metar/ncdecoded/files/catalog.html), which is in netcdf format.<br><br>Now, I have been able to display the data from GDS (http://monsoondata.org:9090/dods/stn/metar/2015), but I want to be able to physically download the data and display it because I want to do more advance scripting that will require too much bandwidth across GDS. Can you download the physical file from GDS?<br><br>My questions:<br><br>1) Has anyone ever worked with the surface metar data from Thredds?<br>1) Is there a control file to open and display the surface metar data in GrADS?<br><br>Thanks,<br>James<br><br>P.S. if my questions or explanation are not clear I will be happy to clarify myself.<br>                                            </div></body>
