That will pop open a dialog box for you to enter the constraints of your subset. Use the “Refine Date Range” accordion to specify the desired date range. Use the “Spatial Subset” and “Variables” accordions to choose your lat/lon domain and variable list. Then open the “Time of Day” accordion and select all 24 hours, from 00:30 through 23:30. Leave the “Grid” accordion with the default value of ‘None’, and change the “File Format” to ‘netCDF’. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>The URLs that you get when you click on the green “Get Data” button should have “servername/daac-bin/OTF/HTTP_services” in the URL instead of “servername/opendap/”.
