<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Thanks. You're right. After downloading the data in netcdf format, the files opened with no problem. What would I use the descriptor file if the nc files open without it? Just curious.</p>

You will need to download the data and create your own descriptor files, but that is a very straightforward task — no special tricks. Recently the format of the model data changed -- now it is NetCDF instead of GRIB — which makes it even easier. Below is the
bit of script code for writing the ascii data as a binary time series: </div>

Hi all,<br class="">
<br class="">
I was wondering if there was an updated link for the ENSO Forecast Plumes script since the URL <a href="http://monsoondata.org:9090/dods/" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk374649" previewremoved="true">http://monsoondata.org:9090/dods/</a> has been decommissioned.<br class="">
<br class="">
The script is hosted here http://cola.gmu.edu/enso_forecast_plumes.html and looks to still be running just fine, but the script does not contain an updated link. If there is a replacement link, can some please provide the new link. <br class="">
<br class="">
Thank you,<br class="">
James<br class="">
