For imagery that is not already on the machine at SSEC, the procedure is still the same: - send an email to address@hidden that specifies the days you want UNIWISC imagery for - FTP the data from the urequest subdirectory in which the images will be loaded. There is a new wrinkle in access to the data, however. The "archive" machine has a LOT of old data online, so it is possible that the imagery you are looking for are immediately available. Here's how to check: ftp unidata2.ssec.wisc.edu <user> unidata2 <pass> XXXXXX cd neartime/20030623 dir cd ../20030624 dir cd ../20030625 dir cd ../20030626 dir quit >I am looking for AREA files. The images are in AREA format, but are named differently: CCYYMMDDHHMM.goes10ir CCYYMMDDHHMM.goes10vis ... >At the same time, I >would like to grab ETA or GFS (AVN/MRF) GRIDS >if possible. There is no model data archived on unidata2, nor is there any model data archived on motherlode.ucar.edu. If you were looking for model data that was less than 90 days old, you could try getting it from the NCAR/SCD Community Data Portal. Check http://dss.ucar.edu/ to see if you can find what you are looking for. If you can not find the model data you need, I would recommend sending a note to the address@hidden email list AFTER you subscribe to the list. If you are not subscribed to the list, your email will bounce to support and I will have to send you a note reminding you that you need to subscribe to any Unidata-maintained email list before you can post to it. Please wait for confirmation of your subscription before you post. >Can anyone point me in the right direction? Please let me know if the above doesn't get you going. >Thanks much. No worries.
