NOMADS: NCDC server 6 nomads6.ncdc.noaa.gov

The following table list several data sets. By clicking on the appropriate command, you can (1) make plots, (2) FTP the files to your computer or (3) obtain documentation. At this time, some options are not available (N/A). BTW, we know that plots can, at times, be quite slow to produce.
