[MITgcm-support] NCEP data

[Martin Losch]

Amitabh,

I think I remember, that I told you already that you find the stuff here
http://ingrid.ldeo.columbia.edu
but that I cannot remember where exactly. You'll have to look for  
yourself. Maybe this is a starting point, but I could not find the  
data set that I downloaded: http://iridl.ldeo.columbia.edu/ 
SOURCES/.NOAA/
Ask their support for an (old) ncep climatology (monthly means of  
surface fields and ocean-atmosphere fluxes), they helped me once.  
Maybe this information from one of the header files will help them  
locate the data set:

Good luck and please don't expect me to answer to this question again.
