[MITgcm-devel] ncep_rgau and hires_cube_sphere/run_template at MIT ?

[Dimitris Menemenlis]

Constantine, Patrick, and Chris, would it make sense and would there be space to
serve the ncep_rgau files somewhere from MIT?  The whole 1948-2006 ncep_rgau is
approximately 108 GB.  In the long term, with ECCO going global, it seems that
eventually you will need to have these files locally instead of the 80S-80N
version that you are using right now.  In the short term, this would address
following and similar requests:

I am also checking into JPL options but these will probably take some time 
because of permission issues, etc.
