last update to this web page:20060901

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, -- slice, dice and subset large files or (3) obtain documentation or (4) use the DODS(OPeN-DAP)/GDS server to get data values directly from our matrix of holdings. At this time, some options are not available (N/A).
