COST:

Users with NCAR computing accounts have free access from the NCAR MSS through clicking the tab in the navigation bar.

For all others, costs depend on the amount requested, and the DSS standard charging rate applies as shown on the service charges page.

We can extract a limited variety of subsets from the NCAR MSS files, such as whole grids or whole observations. This may greatly reduce our output charges, but not our input charges. Please inquire, but note that internal logical record reformatting or subsetting is usually not supported.
